nice pics!!!

Yes, FOD is US Air Force language, I often mix a bit into my posts over the years, I'd say a good 20% of the members speak DoD at some level

Just moved my 'weekend warrior' unit closer to home from the Green Mountain Boys in Vermont(Vipers) to Westover(C5's)

Just changed the lower pan gasket. Felpro oS30703R from Rockauto for $47.74 delivered in 2 days to my door. I put teflon tape on the bolt threads and torqued to 106 inch lbs.. No leaks in 20 miles but time will tell. Engine has 44,000 miles and the pan was absolutely clean inside. Rod
