Think it was Mike Ca? Navy or CG guy that was restoring an H... Just was thinking about him and wondered if he finished or gave it up....

Just curious.

His last post was Nov 15 regarding his tractor seat. It's all in the archives.

I think he returned from the Arabian Gulf late last summer. He was on the USS Stennis when they buried Bin Laden at sea. I think he has had some recent assignments at a Naval Air Base some distance from his usual post. Maybe NV. I believe he owns his own house and is not using Govt housing.
 

Sorry, just saw he was posting a couple months ago... Shoulda tried a search first :roll:

So Mike.... How about some pics?? Or a link to what you already posted...
Have you got a facebook page with fotoalbums???

thanks for reminding me dave, i still have mike's distillate heat shield at the shop, i gotta get it in the sandblaster and finish priming it for him. i'll have to post some pics of it all done.
 
Hhmmnnnnmmmm, One of those rear wheel weights off of an H Farmall would have looked good tied around bin ladens neck for weight. Although it would have been a waste of a perfectly good weight. I guess a big rock would have made more sense.

One would have have to assume he was ballasted some how. Perhaps a chain. I don't think the Navy has a SOP and/or protocol for sea burial anymore. The Persian Gulf is too small to prevent a corpse from floating up on a beach. Everybody gets sent to Dover AFB or San Francisco (?) nowadays. I believe it was SF (Travis AFB) during Viet Nam.
 
He was on The Carl Vinson, where USB was transported to, and then deep sixed.
They do ballast bodies for burial at sea. They are sent off from an fully lowered elevator.
