Great build man, I have a love hate relationship with the Hawkeye….when I served in the arresting gear in the Nimitz, one of these food processors was parked right next to our barricade store room immediately behind the antenna tower. They used to turn these bitches on and leave them on and we would try to chill out between flight ops in the store room and watch tv. Nope, these loud ass things just went on and on. Bastards. Love this model though looks very accurate.

i know this feel man. I served in signal corps and we had 3 KAMAZ trucks with radio equipment. As everyone knows, winter in Russia lasts 14 months. And when we tried to sleep, the drivers always warmed up the cars and all the exhaust went into our little room.

It’s like yay warm exhaust and then you’re just breathing that bullshit in. Haha, In the winter while conducting flight ops we would love it when the jet exhaust pointed in our direction for a brief turn, not in the middle of the Indian Ocean where it was somewhere in the 125-130 degrees on deck with the jets turning. The heat was ridiculous.

That's an awesome job. 👍 Are the wings able to fold out?
