    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    Ouch... Look at this elephant walk. All the big dogs.

    Cool! I was just drinking beer with a former Blackhawk driver! He would approve.

    Yeah, but when they deliver a payload where you need it, you won’t complain. Now a near miss in the air is another matter.

    Been there for both. The Air Force UAS operators have always been decent enough but the Army MQ1 operators are nearly hopeless. Complete lack of understanding for anything aviation or tactical employment, basically nothing more than a money pit that looks good on paper but fails to be utilized properly.

    Cheers! And, yes, I will share anything worthy coming out of the museum in August. At the very least I'll post what part of the engine they presented to me as a souvenir.

    Slow response... just got back in country from Iceland.

    Interesting that they put a couple F-18G Growlers in there, I wonder if they had AF or Navy crews. Otherwise it looks like a complete AF tactical strike package.

    Here is a link to a short version of the story from the museum itself. Will prolly pop up in German, but the site has an English translation available.
    Work in progress...

    Recovery of the B-17 engine from the Müritz - Luftfahrttechnische Museum Rechlin e.V. (luftfahrttechnisches-museum-rechlin.de)

    (Also, the name of the other survivor is Wolyn, not Volyn.)

    Likely at Misawa, this is where the Navy Expeditionary Growlers deploy to for Pacific operations. I’m pretty sure all the expeditionary squadrons have Air Force officers integrated as they no longer have any EW capability organically.

    That would suck. I often fly the rivers in the cub and wonder when I'm going to meet up with someone's drone, but don't think about unexpected cables.
