    Been a while since I posted, some updates.

    Haha no velcro yet, still all buttons. Makes me wonder what they are going to do when you get promoted punch you in the chest since thats where the rank goes on those. Where do you guys get punched since its on your lapel?

    SSP chase cars used for U-2 plane

    no haha, they are something that drops off as the jet takes off, and the crew picks them up off the runway, when the jet lands the chase car guides the pilot to land so that the wing tips to contact the ground and after the jet taxis to the end of the runway the crew re-inserts the pogo's so it...

    SSP chase cars used for U-2 plane

    Wow, that is cool, 41 years later and we do the exact same thing, they are called pogo's, we still have a truck that follows the chase cars (amazing how a f-350 diesel keeps up with g8's) and they punch the pogos when it lands. The u-2 is old technology but boy is it reliable, we keep getting...

    SSP chase cars used for U-2 plane

    Hahaha, yeah they must be stashed with an SR-71, I've heard so many urban legends about that, but I've been every hangar on base except one and its where they put the T-38's..... that could be where they are at. I'm going to go to my commander and demand that they start using mustangs again, it...

    SSP chase cars used for U-2 plane

    I found this and I couldnt believe it. I work on this jet right now and when I first got here we had camaros and gtos to chase it and now we primarily use G8's. When I saw this picture my I was floored, too bad I wasnt around when they decomissioned those cars, even though knowing the air...

    I'm in the chair force right now. I think we're the only branch that still wears rank on our sleeves, and with the multi-cam BS we're getting our stuff will be just like the army, so when people get in trouble we wont need scissors anymore the commander can just rip the stripes off lol.

    WANTED: Pics of interiors with Stock Fox radios.

    haha that is a blast from the past, both my 1990 f-150 and 1993 ranger splash had those headunits, I remember having the tape adapter running to my portable cd player, those were the days.

    89 Mustang GT turbine wheels

    Onlything I would do is clean em up and sell them after you get the wheels you want, believe it or not there is people that will buy them. I was just going to leave the set that came with my car with the guy I bought it from but instead I picked them up and sold them on craigs, if they are...

    who's running without AC? or without heat?

    Ok I retract all previous statements, spent a few hours in stop and go traffic in sacramento at like 430 to 500 and it was soooo hot. HATE NOT HAVING A/C!

    What did you do for your Fox today?

    Drove down to sac town to pick up what I though were a set of used "b" springs for $60 and to my surprise I was wrong, they were brand new never installed. I love craigs when I find deals like this. Gonna wait to install with new shocks and cc plates.

    who's running without AC? or without heat?

    I dont mind the no a/c but it still hasnt gotten up to full temp here in cali yet, so I'm kind of disappointed I'm leaving in a week for four months and wont be able to experience the full summer heat. The upside though is I get to experience 130* weather of the middle east, I wish I had my car...

    How paranoid are y'all about your Stang getting stolen?

    Oh no I understand, maybe I havent gotten to the fun parts of working on my car, but thats why sometimes I wish someone would steal my car and put me out of my misery. I've never been so frustrated with a vehicle as I have been with my car at times, but I do love my stang and enjoy driving it...

    How paranoid are y'all about your Stang getting stolen?

    Wow you guys really value your cars. I guys I'm one of those two bit guys because I couldnt afford a $30g sports car and paid $2500 for a fox body that I drive every day. The precautions I take is I put my GPS and Ipod in the glovebox so no one sees and leave the windows down if I know I wont...

    exhaust tips with GT bumper pic request

    oh I thought those were just cut gt bumpers! jk yeah I knew that I've been drooling over cobra bumpers for months just havent had the money to pick one up yet. So for the GT the cobra rear is the only alternative? I also seen one thats kind of square that starts with a D but I dont care for it.

    The official "How many miles does your Fox have?" thread...

    Found a little loop hole to get a vehicle report and figured out from each time my car has been registered that my odometer has not rolled over and I'm right at 100,000 on my car.... pretty cool to get a vehicle report, my car has never left california but is now north carolina registered lol.
