viper50 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Not really USAF, but I thought this is an interesting vehicle. I took these first pics at an open house/airshow at Ft. Campbell, KY back in the early 1990s. Don M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tracker Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) I am not sure what the DoD nomenclature is, but Pacific Consolidated Industries refers to it as a "Self Generating Nitrogen Servicing Cart". generally i hear them refered to as "self gens" from we maintainence types and SIGNUS Carts by AGE peoples SIGNUS if probably an abridged name for Self Generating Nitrogen Servicing (SiGNuS) Tracker Edited September 3, 2008 by Tracker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-om-tom Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hello. On some photos here and in books I've seen "school buses", whether in yellow or in dark green/black. Are they used as crew bus ? By the way for a diorama, I plan to make a crew bus, does someone has photos of the crew buses used nowadays by the usaf please ? Thank you by advance.

DaveH. Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Does anyone have detail shots of an Oshkosh MB-2. I was at Pease AFB in the late 70's and it seems we had both the Euclid and Oshkosh MB-2. It seems easy to find shots of the Euclid. But I've only found two of the Oshkosh. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UKPonchoMan Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 That's a very good question - the only reference I've found is the film "Strategic Air Command" which has a Military Police Greyhound patrolling the flightline - painted Strato Blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UKPonchoMan Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Keep 'em coming! How about some crew vans or buses? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sometimes, the "crew bus" isn't what most people think it is, but it get's us on and off the flight line! Mark Oh, just gotta add this one too. This is one of the crew chief's expeditor trucks. I was just on my way out to the flight line one evening, and there it was all wrapped up in plastic, and duct tape with the flashers on! No one was even around it! I have no idea what they were up to, but I had to laugh, and of course grab my camera! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jminer Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Kind of support equipment. Kind of. If I'm not mistaken, these are the TER's and Control vehicles for the BGM-109 Gryphon GLCM. A good friend of mine was an SP over in Belgium back in the 80's and was around these. Good pictures! Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Left to right, B-4, B-1, B-2, and B-5. A row of "Ukes" for a bonus. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Another USAF fire truck. This was at Baghdad a few months ago, and also got a shot of "81" back in 2008 posted here. Note the Centurion C-RAM. Ground version of the Phalanx CIWS, or "R2-D2." If I remember correctly, the US Navy operates these at the base, but don't hold me to that.
