    Since I didn't make it this year because my walking radius now is only a mile and not 3.75 miles as I had hoped for, I'm looking for a service that uses M-114's for trams? 160 hp Chevrolet power is where I began with my own car in 1957. Yeah, the nose stuck out a bit. But it was eminently air liftable for SVN. (reference? Hunicutt "Bradley")

    This was a time when there were goals to use "commercial engines" instead of the Continental and Lycoming radials and major inline air cooled engines. I also rode in a school bus with the high school band that used an Allison four-speed automatic. This was a Hydramatic with a very hard shift. Would it tear up the road at Osh-Kosh? The M-114 was not very big.

    Like all of my posts this is not a "I'm telling you." this is a "You tell me." I have never used head phones. My father was an amateur radio guy on 2 meters and 10 meters and then 75 meter phone in his 49 Plymouth and then 1953 and 1957 Ford station wagons. Static? Heterodynes? But not controlled airfields. The MS_FS 2020 has tried to take me through Class B and Class C airspace as well as filing clearances for takeoff and landing. What you might notice if you have been involved with airborne use of fighting vehicles is the M-114 began this concept for the U.S. Army but it wasn't alone as in 1969 a Indonesian Fighter Pilot who was an exchcnge with the USAF showed me a Soviet propaganda film on Motorized Rifle Divisions and combined Arms use of tanks, fighting vehicles and helicopters including armed helicopters. That led me to the Pentagon one day to pickup computer printouts of all the loadouts for the Rapid Deployment forces and the marine Expeditionary battalions. I needed them to define the engines that ended up on the C-17 as it evolved from the YC-15 STOL and the C-141. Hark! is that the crackle of a 265 cubic inch Chevrolet? Can you get to the Viet Namese flower shop and avoid the smell of a Texas Gulf shrimp trawler?

    So...initially figured on arriving with truck/trailer on July 21. Now thinking of flying the Bonanza out on July 15thish, and "staking out" a spot to arrive on July 21-22...
