But most of it is vintage empty.
Packing to move, find some of the cool shit I buy and stash away.

Many moons ago, the Air Force use to simulate the locking of doors and barricading windows during disaster preparedness exercises. They would put signs over the doors and windows which said; "simulated locked" or "simulated blocked."
I often wondered if they would ever find enough "real" plywood to block windows if a real disaster ever hit the base.
Anyway, I walked through the entrance of a building which had the sign that read; "simulated locked." After I emerged on the other side, there was a, less than pleased, E-9 waiting for me.
He said, "well LT., did you see the sign?"
"Yes, Chief, I did."
"Well?" he asked.
I then held up my hand with the tip of the first finger touching the tip my thumb as if I were holding something and asked, "do you see that?"
He replied, "what is it?"
"That is my simulated key!"
All he could do was shake his head as I walked away.
Not all of them are at Eglin, I do remember something like six of them were stuck in a storm there.

A long, long time ago on an island far, far away, I was on the Exercise Evaluation Team. Our unit was exercising a new OPlan for the first time. We had scrubbed the plan and found an oversight. About 0100 the first night we "attacked" them and designated several casualties. Next night we do the same. The CAPT in charge and issued "simulated" weapons to his people and they "fired" back. Sorry, Cap, you didn't include weapons in the annex. You're all dead. Probably a good thing I never served with him again.
At Fort Campbell, late '80s. We're in MOPP 4. I had to talk with someone in the TOC so I knock on the door. Someone lifts the corner of the curtain and knocked X times. I knocked the number of times prescribed and the dude shakes his head. I verify with whoever was with me and try again. Same result. After the third try I go back to my truck and radio the TOC. A controller comes to the door and knocks, I knock and he let's me in. Turns out some 2LT had was by the door when I knocked and he thought I was IG and guessing the code.
Officers, huh?
I cannot find the reference now but read, a long time ago, that Rommel was almost captured in North Africa.
If memory serves me correctly, it was after the allies finally captured Tunis. He found himself behind Allied lines and was temporarily held in an allied field hospital.
He convinced the American personnel holding him that he was Polish and not German.
Just goes to show you that blunders never cease.
If I am wrong on the details, please enlighten me.
They deployed to Texas for the storm and were stuck there for a few months. They have since been reassigned to Eglin and Langley along with personnel. Word is budget for rebuilding Tyndall has been approved and it will be an F35 wing.
Believe it or not trains can do a burnout. Wheels spin and it melts the track. Sander (puts sand on track for traction) may not have been working.
But how does it make such a divot? I didn’t think there was that much suspension travel to allow it to continue to make contact and develop heat. I thought it looked like a break that had locked up causing the wheels to generate a lot of heat and when the train finally stopped all of that just saying down onto the metal of the rail making the divot.
Just remembered...I think the six were left at TY. NMC. May have been a combo of 22s and 16s. A friend flew over the next day and said "They're really NMC now."
I remember that.
The P is because it's in pieces, and the F is cause it's just fuckered up.
Sorry, poorly worded joke. ?
I'll go back to watching TV for now
As the wheel burns away at the track, the slag from the track melting away build up on the wheel making the wheel larger in diameter and can cause a derailment
That was what she looked like during refurbishment. She is now at San Marcos Texas at the Commemorative Air Force (fomerly and properly, in my mind, the Confederate Air Force). Where she is in full authentic paint scheme. This plane was the lead plane for the D Day invasion, carrying Curahees, over Normandy. Now fully restored paint and nose art donated by the paint company (as well as all the prep and labor) and engines donated by the Lycoming company (including install and calibration and run up labor). Do a search for her, and when you find the web site, buy something with the logo, as all proceeds go to continuing to maintain the ship. Their mockup display model was in our military group for the San Antonio Veteran's day parade. I wil edit this entry when I get my photos downloaded to the computer.
The plane flies and travels. For the 75th Anniversary of D Day, she led other American C46, and 47's across country, to Newfoundland, then across the Atlantic to Ireland and then England for the flight over the English channel, and D Day activities.
My bride and I went to their 40's themed Hangar Dance.
Totally restored and flying now.
