Oh the memories.
I miss the -20F temps. Pushing maintenance stands through the snow
drifts on the flightline. Putting in those little waveguide screws
with bare fingers. Looking back a lot better than being in sand
storms!


There are few Air Force Bases in great weather zones, now the navy is
another story. The Navy tends to stay in warmer zones, (except for
Antarctica)

Mitchell,

For your collection - deicing a B-36 at Goose Bay in January 1952 - the hard
way.

And I bet the rebuild was advertised as having had "one lady owner, used
to be a vicar, immaculate condition and with full service history."

Remember putting hydraulic fluid in the tie-downs so you could find them in
the snow and they wouldn't be so hard to chop loose...running the recips
through two minute oil dilutions before shutdown....Herman-Nelsons
everywhere except where you needed them right this minute...and the
poopy-suits!!!
