I was watching a show of a carrier group sailing through a typhoon. There were a few combat jets on deck being spayed. Made me think about it.

Carlos Danger Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I know that when the Navy set out to convert the YF17 Cobra to life aboard a carrier that so much of the plane was modified that the designation was changed to F/A 18 Hornet. If the salt air doesn't get them 20 years of arrester hook landings is sure to finish the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supply is spotty. A lot of the stuff on the lots is shit. The higher end mfg are backed up a year or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know about quality or costs, it's nothing that interests me, I just live near 5-6 rv dealers and drive by them regularly, they seem to have no shortage of campers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any special prep that they require. Just curious? Yes, they keep them clean and they have many different fazes of maintenance and preventive maintenance done on them, preflight, daily, weekly, monthly and so on. At certain fazes the do a very in depth corrosion inspection of the air frame, panels and compartments on the air crafts. Sea Hawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck.................................................. Lol. I was on a bike team for a while. Kawi 250s. We all avoided mud when we could….the amount of time it took to clean it before turn in just want worth the fun of pouncing around where that bike was made to go. Hell, we stayed on tarmac and hardpack if we could! I should have joined the Navy where they just let all their craft rust in the open.
