**atruhondagrl** · 07-19-2006, 12:48 PM

Well, since we're all posting up pics in this category, here's my old one.

S3-B Viking
Wingspan 68'8"
Length 53'4"
Height 22'9"
Power Two General Electric TF-34-GE-400B turbofan engines (9,275 pounds of thrust each)
Top speed: 450 knots/ 518 mph In a nose dive and praying for your life!

Back when I worked on 'em they were anti submarine warfare aircraft. Now they just do refuelings. Working on these things was the happiest I was in my whole Navy career. http://www.vs41.navy.mil/movies/refuel.mpeg

you would have to do that out of college, can't be a pilot unless you are an officer and can't be an officer without a degree.

My other ride....

Just add a few things like a light bar, siren, pushbar....

**atruhondagrl** · 07-20-2006, 03:01 AM

I was about to ask where all of those lovely toys were. Oh and my favorites cage, vinyl rear seats, child safety locks on doors, some one in the back saying "I can't feel my hands. These cuffs are too tight. Comeon man! WTF! I didn't do nothin'"

Lol.
