It is true, you can't hold ground from a boat. But if the boat is good enough, a land surrounded by water will never need to worry about holding the ground, the enemy will never set foot on it.

It is a team effort where each service has to do their part. That's why the Navy created the Marines!

My neither, but you also need to remember that the NAVY is the senior service! 1775 Seniority counts.

But it took less than a month for them to realize who they really needed

Looks like they not only didn't know how to run the cranes, they set the building on fire too! I was always worried about your safety on that project.

Re: Design structural limits for the b series taylorcraft

Sorry Hank, I'm not on that job any more-nor will ever work on a project that has anything to do with the Navy. I am not gonna have some puke that knows natta about tower cranes tell me (28 years experience in tower cranes alone) how to run a tower crane.
Stupid jerk said I was turning the crane to fast, both cranes turned at the same rate but mine had 130' more jib so it looked like it was but really wasn't.
The best part was the guy that replaced me in less than a week had caused more than $50k damage to the crane. I was jumping through hoops for the Navy and just said ta hell with them, the employer had never used tower cranes before and did not support the operators, the other crane operator is leaving also.

Hey Bird, you weren't up there yesterday when the roof caught fire on the hospital were you? We were a little worried when the TV pictures looked like the smoke plume engulfed over the crane control cab. They give you a O2 mask up there for that?

Re: Design structural limits for the b series taylorcraft

As a side note most of you know I am a tower crane operator ( the guy that sits on top of the high rise buildings). On the Linden tower cranes there is 1 spot that the load line terminates right beside the crane and there is a pin about 3/8" that holds the line and the crane is certified in a 2 part line for 13,000lbs. I have often looked at this pin and wondered about it, I know I did 1 lift that maxed the crane out at 26,000 lbs in a 4 part line but still only had the 1 pin at the end, all I can say is I have had a 8,000 lb load break free and what happened would make most people stay away from under the tower cranes, took me damn near 10 minutes to find my dentures

In the Air Force the teletype we had was ALL CAPITAL letters. No one considered it shouting. It was easier to read which was why it was THAT WAY.

Yes that is true and, most all of the old teletype and telex messages
were also done in caps, anyway, it is quick easy to read and you don't have to do the capitalization on first line and nouns

I like it cause in a email chain and can easily see where I respond vs the
other person, kinda a identification deal, anyway, many don't like it
as I was repremanded once big time for it, so I have tried to slow it down

Re: Design structural limits for the b series taylorcraft

Wow, great, that means I can take my 1940 BL-65 and start doing loops, spins and everything else :joy:

I remember in the 70's three of us owned a BC12 D which we flew a lot. I landed once and a good friend CFI with many hours, , an aero commander demo pilot asked if he could take it up. He did and promptly stalled it at around 2000 feet, spun it a little, then did 17 consecutive loops right over the field. I would think a good rebuilt would be safe to loop and a stall spin would not put much stress on it at all. If rebuilt correctly, it should be as good as new or better. Originally, they were inexpensive trainers and were stalled -spun a lot and probably looped a lot. (Eric minns should be up on this subject.) When I learned, spin training was mandatory. The first two made me very nervous but when he explained that it was stalled, no longer flying hence very slow speed, the light bulb came on. Recovery was gentle and easy. ( aeronca champ)

Re: Design structural limits for the b series taylorcraft

I'm really bad about the "SHOUTING THING" as Forrest once said and I think he actually was offended, said "STOP SHOUTING" well I didn't mean anything at all about it, this comes from a business practice I used where a ball oratator was used on a typewriter years ago, and I got use to using it and not having to capitalize, like that quick point so got in the habit of doing it on line, then found out that was a no no to some folks.

I still have a tendency to do it, if I do please don't be offended
