The CZickness XLII looking towards the FGE

They were flying 3 Huey Iroquois yesterday out of Jellystone Campground for veteran appreciation. Brings back memories of the old warhorses replacement, the Blackhawk. Hueys have a more authoritative sound of beating the air into submission!!! They had people strapped in seats facing out like door gunners.....had to be a thrill and rush flight!!!!

There's a guy here in Columbus that has a Huey. It's very intense to watch and feel it fly over.

Evening chaps. Ice cream in the CC. Been a busy couple of days off. Little lady is moving into her new room this evening I'm told. Built the loft bed today, and moved her vanity & dresser in as well before work. Will pick up her mattress in the AM. I expect her to be a hermit for the first week at least.

Also found my .223 boresight laser that's been MIA for a while.... Never guess where. In the toolbag with all my other gun tools...

No doubt, an exciting plateau for the lil' lady !

Mother of God what a stellar airframe

It is. I went and parked at the Costco in Greenwood and walked over to catch it coming in for a landing just off the end of the runway. What a beast that thing is. The R2600 is among the best piston engines ever built

It's been a hot one outside today! The only thing I accomplished was to mow the yard around 1pm.

The 2600 is a dual stack yes

the 2600 was the double stack package yes.

 

[88E30M50]

It is. My favorite round engine is the R2800. 2800 cubic inches of raw muscle with a 2 stage supercharger, sodium filled exhaust valves and a carburetor the size of a small dog house

I'm edging up close to 19k posts. Not a lot by CM standards but not a little too. Hmmm, how can I cross the line with a really good post?

No personal experience, but the pins seem to be well-thought-out.
My favorite part of the item description was this (below)

• Patent Pending EZ Guide Channel & Magnetic Assist Install - Easy, hassle free magnet assisted installation of the EPP (Enhanced Pivot Pin). No more lost detents and springs.

I checked those out. Pushbutton is a good idea.

It must include a 1911, bacon, bourbon, and a sock.
