Current Scrambler pics

I'm back from the CA Highway 395 trip in the Mammoth and June Lakes area. (Sierra Nevada mountains) It was awesome! I'll get a write up with more pics up soon, but the Scrambler did great. Put 1,200 miles on it over the six-day trip. 270 were off-road miles. Completed the heat insulation and BedRug carpet kit just prior to leaving. This was the first trip with the full length hard top, AC and flooring. Totally different Jeep! The highway trip was actually pleasant and could talk to my wife and hear the stereo at 75mph. Jeep was FULLY loaded with 10 gallons of water, extra fuel and all the "glamping" stuff to make sure my wife wanted to go on future trips. (heater, 12V electric blanket, hot shower, toilet, big tent...) I'll post my CAT scale weight on my build thread with the trip write up. You will be shocked. I was already heavy but now it's a serious pig.

Only 2 1/2 months until retirement! The week off for this trip was 12.5% of my remaining time working.

Not our Scrambler... Don't know if there are any aviation buffs here. This our 1946 CJ-2a with one of the Canadian Snowbirds which is a Canadair CT-114 Tutor. This was taken on October 16th, which is the day that the RCAF retired these planes from the Snowbirds after serving as Canada's formation aerobatic team for 55 years. I've watched these planes perform at airshows since I was old enough to remember. Bittersweet moment for me.

And this is our 1971 K10 with a C-130 Hercules... No story with this one.
 
Seen the Snowbirds before here at an air show. Unique because of 9 flying around. Good show. Wonder what they are going to use in shows ?
