new member intro
Hello all, couldn't find an intro thread so am posting here.
By my moniker 67U20, I was a CH47 mech. in Viet Nam. Our unit had, as I recall, a couple of the M-715's in the motor pool. Several years back a friend
took me to see a real charactor in the Napa Co. area. If it was ever made.... he had one or several. Including the M-715. Said friend a couple of weeks ago informed me that one was available so I called the fellow and lo and behold. The one for sale he bought years back at a GSA auction, it is complete and still in Mil Spec shape. He never titled it just put it in a shed
an let it sit for 20 + years. About the only thing that was 'altered' while in Service has been a camo paint job most likely by a National Guard Unit.
Once it is at my home, the fun begins! Go through it to make it road worthy and put my 'Nam Unit markings on the front and rear bumpers an that's about it for now.
I look forward to researching as much as I can on the forum to keep it up and perhaps someday upgrading the engine from the OHC Toronado to???
