Re: How about some pics of 47-59

JJ, may I ask? Why did you bolt the straight portions of the frame to the front/rear? Why not weld them?

Dan, the PB dropmember is designed to bolt up to the factory rails using a few original holes in them, so I went that route with the new rails. I may still go back and weld it all together!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I am starting to feel bad for my truck in that nobody (me) posted pics of it.
I will try to fix that.











sorry the pics are so big

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

yes, I worked for him as his aircraft mechanic for 16 years on his Falcon 2000 till he sold it.

Now I am looking for work in the same capacity as aircraft maintenance manager on either a Falcon 2000, 900, or 50.
I could also go back to Gulfstreams, in that I have about 20 years experience on Gulfstreams.
The GIV's and 450's and 550's are fantastic airplanes
