Vehicle I-D: Model T & White Motor Warriors

At the beginning of November 2019, the Illinois State Military Museum held its Great War Encampment event and two 1917 Ford Model Ts showed up.

The Ford Model T gun truck is owned by John Krug, he also brought his 1917 Model T Ambulance.

In May 2018, Oregon’s Military Museum held its 22nd Annual Living History Day and retired Reservist Jack Gieson drove down from neighboring Washington in his 1917 Model T ambulance.

A standardized class B truck, or ‘Liberty Truck’, also made the Living History Day show.

According to the folks at the AMedD (Army Medical Department) Museum at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, during World War One the U.S. Army also bought two 1917 White Motor Company ambulances.   While they look similar to the Model Ts, they were smaller than the Ford ambulance. In 1917 they cost about $1,650 each.

I so far haven’t found any information as to why the White ambulance has a GMC radiator.  U.S. Army orders for White logistical vehicles, during World War One, made White the top producer of trucks in the United States, which was a burden since the company was new to truck building.  Immediately prior to WW-1 the White Motor Company began shifting from car production to truck production, but was only able to make the truck chassis, they had to contract with Riddle Coach and Hearse Company to make the bodies of the trucks.  It’s possible White was also outsourcing for powertrain parts.

Bare Metal: NASA’s MD-11 experimental, your taxes saving the ‘private sector’ airline industry

29AUG1995

Between August and November 1995, an experimental McDonnell Douglas MD-11 conducted landings under engine power only.

It happened at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California, and it was the first time a transport aircraft landed with normal controls switched off.

It was part of a NASA project to develop a computer-assisted engine control system that enables a pilot to land a plane safely when its normal control surfaces fail.

The Propulsion-Controlled Aircraft (PCA) system uses standard autopilot controls already present in the cockpit, together with the new programming in the aircraft’s flight control computers.

The first PCA tests by NASA were carried out with a modified twin-engine F-15 Eagle research aircraft.  The F-15A was the second U.S. Air Force Eagle (71-0281), sent to work with NASA in 1976.

Painting a P-51 with vinyl decals?

Photos by Fried Color Graphics and Samuel King Junior.

The Air Force Armament Museum (Near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida) recently repainted its TP-51 Mustang, for the first time in more than 30 years. But this time it was ‘painted’ with vinyl decals.

Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

The idea is credited to iSpark and the 96th Test Wing innovation office.  Originally the museum’s director wanted to vinyl wrap an outdoor aircraft display’s painted canopy so it would look like glass.

Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

Employees kept adding ideas concerning what could be wrapped until finally they asked ‘why not wrap the entire display’?  Vinyl wrapping is waterproof and is used on yachts, luxury vehicles,  racecars and advertising vehicles.

Once the U.S. Air Force approved of the idea the problem was getting funding.  That’s when iSpark, which owns the Armstrong vinyl flooring maker, immediately funded the wrapping project.

Oh no, not another hanging chad! Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

Another plus to wrapping the 1:1 scale Mustang was that the indoor display aircraft could be ‘painted’ where it sat.  It also took only one person (a local contractor) ten days (during July 2019) to wrap the Mustang in the colors of the Tuskegee Airman Mustang  flown by Charles Bailey (never mind that the museum’s Mustang is two seat TP-51, as indicated by the bigger canopy and second seat in the cockpit).

U.S. Air Force photo by Samuel King Junior, 28OCT2019.

Contractor Gary Householder said he could’ve gotten the wrap done in less than ten days but “Whenever I’m working on a wrap, people tend to like to watch. This time, they just thought I was a museum employee.”

The Air Force Armament Museum plans to wrap as many of its display aircraft as it can.

Vehicle I-D: New F-16 Wraith! Night Fighter WW-2 style!

U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Miranda A. Loera, 28OCT2019.

On 28OCT2019 the 64th Aggressor Squadron (Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada) revealed their new ‘Wraith’ paint-job for the F-16.

USAF photo by Airman First Class Bryan Guthrie, 16NOV2019.

The paint scheme resembles the late World War Two/Korean conflict U.S. night fighter paint-job; black with red markings.  However, in WW-2/Korea the black was glossy as U.S. Army Air Force studies revealed that amazingly glossy black actually was harder to see from the ground with search lights, than a flat/matte (‘nonspecular’ as it was called back then) black.  The new F-16 Wraith uses flat black.

Oregon Mohawk flies again (sort of) & some other Mohawk news

OV means Operational View, and OV-1 sounds like Obi-Wan.  The OV-1 entered production in October 1959 and served in United States, Europe, Korea, Israel, VietNam, Central and South America, and during Desert Shield/Desert Storm in the Middle East. The Mohawk retired from U.S. service in September 1996. At least 133 OV-1Cs were built (sources vary, as many as 169?), the C designating the model which used an IR (InfaRed) imaging system in the nose.

Oregon National Guard’s Project 926, move the old tail number 926 OV-1C Mohawk ‘gate guard’ to a better location.

23OCT2019 was the culmination of three years of volunteer work by Oregon National Guard retirees who worked and flew the OV-1 Mohawk from 1972 to 1992.  Almost all of that three years was spent restoring the gate guard.

The new home of the 926 Mohawk is at Deibert Flight Facility, Army Aviation Support Facility.

The official dedication ceremony was held 02NOV2019.

Video of relocation operations called Project 926:

See more about Oregon National Guard’s long use of the Mohawk here (OV-1 Mohawks in Oregon).

The 02NOV2019 dedication for the new home of 926 came one day after a pilot was killed flying a Mohawk, while preparing for an air show in Florida.

Doctor Joe Masessa, of Mohawk Airshows, was killed when he lost control of the aircraft during a practice flight.  Updated news reports said the air show was forced to cancel all flights due to bad weather.

Mohawk Airshows flies the POW-MIA ‘flying monument’.

Somebody needs to make a decal sheet of the Flying Monument.

In the early 1980s, NASA created an automated stall-speed warning system for OV-1Cs.

From February 1983, a NASA-U.S. Army operated Grumman OV-1C over Edwards AFB.

U.S. Army-NASA OV-1C Mohawk, automated stall warning system tests @ Edwards AFB, July 1983.

Hasegawa’s now ancient 1:72 scale OV-1B (also issued by Frog in the early 1970s) can be easily modified to a C version by scratch-building the IR glass in the nose.

Roden’s 1:48 scale D boxing depicts the IR nosed Mohawk.  The D Mohawk is simply a consolidation of all the best upgrades from previous versions.  Oddly, Roden’s C boxing does not depict the IR nose, and the instructions even tell you not to use the IR nose part (which is included on the clear sprue of every Roden Mohawk kit).

Roden’s C version also does not come with the SLAR, but you still need to get it because it comes with fuselage mounted flare dispensers and ‘classified’ electronic recon under-wing pods.

‘Aftermarket’ companies produce a variety of detailing/correction sets for the Hasegawa and Roden kits: Eduard, Cobra Company and Black Dog.

President Donald Trump is portrayed by the ‘main-stream’ news media as being anti-climate, yet since he became President of the United States NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) has seemingly increased its studies of the effects of pollution and wildfires (including prescribed burns and agricultural fires) on the atmosphere.

On 23JUL2019, NASA held an explainer day for Idaho news media, and as you can tell not many showed up. Idaho Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Joshua C. Allmaras.

The latest study is called FIREX-AQ (Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality), and from 22 July thru 18 August it called Gowen Field, Idaho, its home base.

Loading computers onto a Twin Otter.

FIREX-AQ also uses Twin Otter aircraft from NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration), as well as satellites.

NASA’s ER-2 ‘climate-spy-plane’ based in California is also used.

Six decades after California set the first global standards for industrial anti-air-pollution laws the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) has proven those (and subsequent) laws to be laughable.

NASA ER-2 preps for a mission from Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, February 2018. USMC photo by Lance Corporal Luke Kuennen.

NASA used it’s modified U-2R/TR-1A, called the ER-2 (Earth Resources-2), to inspect industrial air pollution, scanning the ground from near-space (65-thousand feet/19-thousand-812 meters): “Before the pilots even take off, we put them on 100% oxygen for an hour to get all of the nitrogen out of their systems. It’s similar to what scuba divers can face. If they have nitrogen in their system, they can end up getting what they call the bends, and it’ll be a really bad day for that pilot.”-Wason Miles, ER-2 life support crew, from 2018 interview concerning the HyspIRI preparatory airborne mission over Hawaii

The two years long NASA-California methane mission resulted in the AVIRIS-NG ( Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation) system, onboard the ER-2, discovering dozens of what NASA calls methane “super-emitters”(published 06NOV2019) across the Los Angeles area.  This why I say California’s progressively ‘tougher’ anti-pollution laws failed.  I lived in California when those anti-pollution laws began driving out many industries causing the loss of thousands of jobs just in the Los Angeles area, in the 1970s-80s.  The exalted lawmakers of The Golden State then started playing games with their own anti-pollution laws, trying to woo back major employers.  NASA’s California methane mission revealed that the industrial sector of the Los Angeles area is still pumping out clouds of pollution, even with stricter air quality laws and fewer industrial operations.
