TAILHOOK FOR DISPLAY

[ANSTZYA]

STL file available?

I didn’t do the work. The web address is on the white card next to the tailhook.

As PT Barnum once said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”. Good to hear you’re satisfied with your purchase. BTW, no one steals tailhooks….we acquire them. I have a NEW A-6 tailhook and a used EA-6B tailhook and they are HEAVY. Please send the IGs to my home. I’ll be waiting.

“Acquire” Sure Luey! 🤣

Replica sized exactly to fit 36” of wall space. How much did you pay for yours.

I knew the right people in the right place at the right time.......$0.00

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know…timing is everything! You should sell it on eBay for $10K then you’d be +$10K instead of $0…🤣

Because the item isn't worth $10K. It's priceless. My H-60 tail rotor paddle is the same way.

I’m still trying to figure out where to put my 5 mile long VLF antenna gifted to me by my maintainers. It came off the spool and now I can’t get it back on. Whole house is a mess


(for legal purposes this is a joke)

Any ideas for transporting a disk about 24’ in diameter?

Sometime in the '80's-early '90's (post-TAILHOOK era), an E-2C crew was ferrying an a/c, minus the disc, to a NARF for rework. They filed an ATC callsign as Topless XX. A female civilian controller somewhere along the route took offense and filed a formal complaint against them as being sexist and inappropriate.

It’s worth, what someone will pay for it.

I think you are missing the point. I could probably get a lot of money for one of my cars too. But I'm never selling it.
