Flying Tanks thread, split from Ok, I have some questions. (Please dont just tell me to read the FAQ)

[I.see.fish]

This has all been great advice but I have a random question, have you ever seen anyone launch an armoured vehicle off a jump?

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Yes, vehicle spent the next month in maintenace.

 

[I.see.fish]

I dont plan to do that and its definitely not a good idea to do that but did you actually see it?

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Seen it in Gagetown and also done it myself

 

[I.see.fish]

Really? You are my hero.

Come on now, that is not recommended, you could lose an eye or spill your beer.

 

[Bzzliteyr]

Sapper, please tell, what have you launched?

 

[Nfld Sapper]

An ARV, ARVL, and a couple of T-LAVS

;D

 

[Bzzliteyr]

Yeehaw!!  I have only had the honour of lifting all 8 wheels on a Coyote.  I saw the infamous Tank jump at the School back when we did it for the firepower demo.  I never got tasked on that thing.. what was it called again?? I know we had a nickname for it.. Stanky Gladiator (amongst others)?

Does an Iltus count?  8)

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Does an Iltuis count?   8)

Maybe if you spelt it right  ;D

My friends and I used to joke that, statistically speaking, the most uttered phrase before someone died in Saskatchewan was "hold my beer and watch this."

Shortly afterwards it became the motto of all our camping trips.  May those photos never see the light of day...

Is that like the camping trip in the movie Fubar with the Metalheads from Calgary??? That was one funny movie.

I have a buddy who claims to have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_(motorsport)">drifted</a> a LAV3.

Does that count for anything?
