Are there any Marine Corps aviators who are currently flying a King Air out of Jax Craig doing demo flights? There is a group of candidates, myself included, going up tomorrow. Just curious is he's an AW member..

King air for demos?

God, they REALLY need to bring back the T-34Bs that recruiters used to have at their disposal.

God, this post reads like a guy wanting someone to bring an AMC Gremlin to an exotic car show. . .

I had a buddy that owned one of those death traps in high school. The ass end of that POS was so light it would scare the shit out of you going around a curve with anything but a full tank of gas. We swapped ends several times in it. Not always because we were drunk either.

Is that for the MCFOP? I saw the flyers for that the other day at the Office...joked with my OSO asking him if they were planning on giving F-18 rides out since that's what's taking up 90% of the flyer page.

15.3 is damn near 3 times what my RX-8 gets . . . and people whine about it being underpowered! :icon_tong

How heavy was a gremlin that even with a 130 hp engine it still took a quarter minute to get to highway speeds?
