1977 A2 Transforming to USAF

Image found on the G503. URL says Clark AFB



I think it would make a nice addition.

Is it me or does the rear of the drivers seat look weird for some reason? Clip board in the pocket? Rear wheel blue, front green.

The color looks good.I can remember jeeps painted this color from somewhere

Naval Station San Diego, 32nd St, had a bunch a2s in the mid/late '90s they used for Base Security people. Don't know if they were the 'glorious' Strata blue, but certainly close to it. No pics, not allowed and all that jazz.

I don't think you are seeing the back seat. What is visible in that picture is the passenger side outside panel and the rear fender well.


What is very Air Force about the picture is the customized (short sleeve) cammo jungle jacket, civilian antennae, and speaker mounted on the windshield. Of course, the AF vehicles did not have shovels or axes..... LOL.

[Tom]

Not to further perpetuate your prejudices toward the Air Force, but your seat comment reminded me of this Mutt at U-Tapao in 1975.

I love the comic!!!

[rickf]

Hey Seabee, I know you are watching this one, Who does that comic immediately bring to mind?

[SEABEE62]

TOP TIGER !!!!!!!....and really....his Hotel room was a lot nicer than this picture would show .. . By the way....they need to add to the cartoon, " Seabee....MUD is our friend ! " Seabee

[rickf]

That was not his hotel room, that was his quarters and I have pictures!

[SEABEE62]

OH......then this must of been Rainmans motel room.....TT had room service in his quarters too didn't he ? Seabee

[rickf]

Yes he did, Several hoochmaids. I remember his descriptions of his BOQ, every time he described it it had a newer and better amenity. A/C, Wet bar, Big screen TV! They did not even HAVE big screen TV's. But when he sent pictures damned if he didn't have the bar and AC!

TT Gone but not forgotten....Seabee

Got the AF Strato Blue paint in, but the powder coat guy is having a tough time locating the same color in Powder.

I could always paint the wheels in enamel, but they just don't hold up as well as if you have them powder coated.

I've had several versions of the "this sucks" cartoon. The first one was all the way back in Vietnam. Somehow lost that one. I still have my short timer cartoons!

I almost posted "Murphy's Law of Combat", but this thread would end up with 60 pages!!!!!

Start a new thread in the General section with the title Murphys law of combat. We can always use a good laugh.
