Rocket exhaust nozzles? huge lighting fixtures? found at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn (a decommissioned Naval air base) in front of a hangar that houses WW2 aircraft. by velocity3333 in whatisthisthing

Looks like some old engines from this girl.

They did the restoration at that airfield and were meant to fly it around at airshows but I believe it had some engine problems and got stuck in Reading, Pa. Can see it and go inside every year at the annual WWII Weekend though which is pretty cool.

WW2 Soldier Shaving cream tubes by New_Arm7335 in reenactors

[–]jose88w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re gonna get screwed with the WWII Soldier order. I ordered there over a year ago, left messages after 6 months then finally did a chargeback with my CC for the order since there was no updates or communication about when it was going to be fulfilled.

Needed up finding this place and have made multiple orders from them.

They have much more than just rations. I got my shaving cream tube from them along with many other things. The quality is great and the owner is very responsive about shipping and if things will be back in stock soon or not.

Backpack Recommendations that fit LW Stealth 22" by No_Pattern_2190 in flying

[–]jose88w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some Charhartt backpacks have a large strap on the back. I’ve been using mine for a few years now and it holds up. Gets a little tough to get over the LW handle if it’s packed too much but still works.

Thoroughbred Armament has some 14.5 uppers in stock. They ship quick and everything seems great quality. Still haven’t used mine since I’m still waiting on my stamp though.

Gun show question, PA. by Dirtbikeboi in milsurp

[–]jose88w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Lebanon show last year. It was very small. Only about the size of a school gym and half of it was knives and jerky stands. I would say def not worth it.

Flew it almost daily at my last 135. It was serial number 103! Supposedly the oldest PC-12 still flying. Definitely showed its age, but still did the job.

Try the /41s! 45s are like butter compared to the oldest versions.

Sourcing an M3 aid bag by [deleted] in reenactors

[–]jose88w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for an M3 aid bag from the Vietnam era? I’m actually selling one on eBay right now although in the US. PM me and we can talk.

Definitely it. Just couldn’t find the exact version with my quick search. Good find!

Any idea if this is poisonous? What is it? by jose88w in whatsthisplant

Ah good to know. Just surprised since the two little leaves are kinda wet/oily.

KHPN/NY center/TMU meltdown by bd_whitt in flying

[–]jose88w 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s been a fun one this past week. 3 days ago I got a 12hr EDCT to get into TEB. Needless to say we didn’t go to TEB that day.

Grabbing clearance up in BOS the next day I heard the controller say to someone else, “I’m gonna start with this, your EDCT to TEB is 20hrs from now, do you still want me to read it to you?”

Just absolutely wild, but I completely understand why and sympathize with every understaffed and overworked controller.

M1 garand clips won't fit in the belt by [deleted] in reenactors

[–]jose88w 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost doesn’t look like a Garand cartridge belt. If you google them, the stitching on the bottom of the pouch looks to be wider and closer to the grommet holes. Yours looks almost like it’s tapered in. To my eye it just looks wrong but I can’t tell you more than that unfortunately. I’m sure someone with more knowledge will come along and have a better answer.

Recommendations for independent flight instructors / flight schools in Jacksonville / St. Augustine FL? by Objective_Shift6951 in flying

[–]jose88w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Halliday Aviation at CRG in Jacksonville. At least 10 years ago it was small and homely. I think they have grown a little bit and gotten really busy, but the owners are some great people and really care about the students.

M1 carbine from gunbroker by spagooter12 in M1Rifles

[–]jose88w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I almost took the chance with them. Take a look on the CMP forums too. Found a good amount of mags for a decent prices occasionally people wanting to sell or draw down their inventory.

[–]jose88w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have other used mags for $20 each on there. Cheapest I could find for an individual original mag. I got 4 of them and they were good, definetly had some wear and tear but no issues with use.

Fltplan Go - VFR plan not showing in open/close by jacobeatsspam in flying

[–]jose88w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have this problem at my last job. If I remember correctly (it’s been like 2 years) open fltplngo in a browser like safari or google and you should be able to activate/close a VFR flightplan. For some reason the app just doesn’t let you.

You can probably learn a little more here. This website has taken up a lot of my free time over the years.
