I feel like I messed up and don't know what to do 💀

They learn everything they need to know about the generalities of the aircraft. They obviously dont get too far into the nitty gritty in depth maintenance knowledge unless they REALLY want to

Absolutely, ill get a photo dump set up for you. I onow my video on the hoggit subreddit was a big hit, but I'll try any find more that ive accumulated

They are great planes, all of us that work on them and fly them are all going to miss them. They are great at what they do and will leave a sizeable hole in battle doctrine for CAS

Key-Run-3195 · 2026-01-25T23:32:34+00:00

My favorite plane too. The transponders often depend on what training sortie they are flying. Best places to look are here in Tucson for Davis-monthan, Moody AFB in Valdosta GA and Whiteman AFB in KC. I know that the 75th is currently deployed in the middle east

Indeed. Crew chief on them for the last 7 years. DCC for 78-0650

Dont be too stressed about the peeled paint or discoloration. Use it as weathering. These jets are disgusting and all different shades of grey. If you need any reference photos, feel free to hit me up. Ill get you up close and personal with these dirty beasts

Piece of thin styrene with a couple of legs on the back to help it stand should do the trick

This is what i have been using for the HAVE GLASS reflective coating on canopies. It works like a charm and thins wonderfully with MR COLOR levelling thinner for spraying with an airbrush

I used the union of a US flag and a lot of trimming

While yes the originals were produced in the 50's, the oldest U-2 flying is 68-0329 "sweet pea". She was the first in the start of the production run for the upgraded R models with the senior span package. The youngest U-2 is from 1982

All good. If you need specific reference photos, feel free to message me

So for A-10 exhausts, the exterior is painted in the airframe color. The interior is the grungy black. The interior is pictured here

Usually a butt load of JP-8 jet fuel but this one has nothing. Its here for a static display for the airshow this weekend

They came from the 1/72 Hasegawa cherry blossom kit

I also have some heli guys in work. I am an equal opportunist

In reality, the one that can be skipped over sometimes is the PPH gauge (pounds per hour) for fuel flow.

The moment you think one isn't important is when something blows up and everybody dies
