    Maggie’s SH Motorcycle Thread

    So, I’m currently in Wisconsin (from Florida) for a month-long training exercise with the USAF. In typical aircraft maintenance fashion, the company got a total of 3 rental cars for the maintenance team and nobody can get together on what we want to do in our off time. I’m effectively stuck at...

    Upsides to shooting a left handed gun?

    AICS AT 2.0 (folding) on both. The B14R (lefty .22 training rifle) is now wearing Viperskins to better mimic my centerfire. If I hadn't been able to find the lefty AICS chassis I was going to do exactly what LeftyJason did above. You can find right hand used chassis for a Rem 700 SA all day...

    Leather sewing thread and leather work

    I got one of those Cheap Chinese leather machines. I think it was $115 on Amazon. The learning curve was pretty steep and it took a lot of research to get it timed and working properly but I’ve been getting decent results with it. *Don't look at the rough edges or the jacked up attempt at...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    This is so cool! One of my F-16As participated in this raid. I didn't know that Iran and Israel worked together on this.

    AIRCRAFT PHOTOGRAPHY: anyone else want to participate?

    Our customer has the deepest pockets--courtesy of the US taxpayers. We're contracted to fly an aggressor role against Uncle Sam's pilots. Our job is to teach the young buck military pilots that despite having vastly superior aircraft, they can still lose badly when they come up against an...

    AIRCRAFT PHOTOGRAPHY: anyone else want to participate?

    I started a new job in April and I'm loving it! I get to work on the only privately owned F-16s on the planet:cool:

    Our shop is located at EOR. I'm waiting for the right moment to snap a pic of my Springer with one of my jets taxiing (or airborne) in the background.

    I started this job less than a month ago and I haven't stopped grinning yet! I retired back in 2008 and that was the last time I touched a F16 until last month. I got a phone call from an old USAF buddy asking me if I wanted the job--I thought he was pulling my leg but I had an interview and a...

    This looks like Eglin AFB. My old F-16As are parked either right next to, or right in front of the F-22s. The company I work for has the Aggressor contract and we fly against the 22s and 35s every day. These are the only privately owned F-16s on the planet. They were purchased from the...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I printed/submitted my SS eF4 in back in July/2022. A few months later, I was working out in my shop cutting some metal, and I burned a perfect triangle into the pad of my left index finger. I submitted 3 eF1s the next day. My eF1s--with the perfect triangle of no prints--were all approved in...

    Places You've Worked But Are Now Shut Down

    I drove through the old home town when my mom passed in Feb......the only place still in existence is the McDonalds where I had worked at 15. The movie theater is now a big box garden center. The hotel I drove the airport shuttle for is now a parking lot. Chanute AFB, IL is gone. Bitburg...

    Why the VA?

    I just thought of this, but for any Veteran who's been having trouble navigating through the VA red tape, vacommunitycare.com is open access to the public. If you click on the Provider/Go To Provider Portal tab, and then click on Training & Guides, you can access all of the informational...

    Why the VA?

    Funny that this thread popped up. I literally quit my job as a contractor for VA about an hour ago. (I translated the VA's contractual language into English so the VA Community Care Network providers could understand the requirements. I also conducted training webinars for community...

    We recently quit riding with our usual group. Did a little 300 mile ride with our group on a Saturday last month. Bright sunshine and 75 degrees--couldn't ask for a better day to ride, especially in early March. This time we went to the Irish Festival out in Camden, SC via some awesome...
