planeflyer21 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 Great article on the Bronco! Also a glaring commentary on red tape in the Pentagon and Washington. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-amazing-ov-10-bronco-was-never-allowed-to-meet-its-1695837367/+nicoleconlan
Microgunner Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Looks like fun. Now I know why you chose it as your avitar.
planeflyer21 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Posted April 7, 2015 It's a cool plane and good platform...but not as glorious as the go-fast jets. Same reason the USAF brass is trying to ditch the A-10 right now...despite troops on the ground DEMANDING it stay in service.
wetncold Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Black Ponies. Worth their weight in dope in RVN.
shibiwan Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 There's a bunch of them (incomplete) lying around the hangars, out in the open at Falcon Field (Mesa, AZ)
planeflyer21 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 There's a bunch of them (incomplete) lying around the hangars, out in the open at Falcon Field (Mesa, AZ) Enough parts to build a couple of good ones?
shibiwan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Enough parts to build a couple of good ones? Probably can get enough parts out of the few I've seen out there. ....also if you're looking for A4 Skyhawks, I know where to find some....
Microgunner Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I wouldn't mind having a scale RC OV-10 Bronco.
planeflyer21 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 ^^^ He has a boner... <lmao> Damn straight! Probably can get enough parts out of the few I've seen out there. ....also if you're looking for A4 Skyhawks, I know where to find some.... Dude's at the airport next to our range build A-4s...they almost have a Blue Angels replica put together. Sale of that will surely finance much of their other projects.
shibiwan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I want to get my pilot's licence and then go buy a C-130
planeflyer21 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah baby! I'd like to do a business venture of buying a C-130, then charge storm chasers $20K to fly into hurricanes.
blue109 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 I saw that blue angels jet. had to double take.
shibiwan Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Yeah baby! I'd like to do a business venture of buying a C-130, then charge storm chasers $20K to fly into hurricanes. Hmm... that's $20k per head? HMMMMM Edited April 10, 2015 by shibiwan
planeflyer21 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Posted April 10, 2015 Hmm... that's $20k per head? HMMMMM Yup...or a very generous three for $50k. I'd even be very generous with a "frequent flier" program...purchase trips into three storms, get the fourth storm free.
98Z5V Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I want to get my pilot's licence and then go buy a C-130 There is NO MOTHERFUCKING WAY that we can have our board-sponsored C-130 pilot that is some dude we can blindfold with a fucking piece of dental floss. There's NO way. NO Asian Eyes. You need to get the "American Eye Procedure" completed before you ever elicit that position. You go Round-Eye, or you GO HOME, GI... <lmao>
blue109 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 keep talking smack and shib will ride that pet horse of his over to your house and beat you with CMMG parts.
Rsquared Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I want to get my pilot's licence and then go buy a C-130 Excellent. We can put that bad boy to good use. After dropping into CT a couple times in the past for Drew (and his cat attacking vigilante's), and more recently into AZ to spring Shibi...........we still have other $hit to take care of. <lmao> Edited April 15, 2015 by Rsquared
