Marcel, Didn't post it but I am leaving the forum. Wanted to give you my email in case you want to keep in touch. [email protected] Best, Dave Kansas City

I’m not on FB anymore. Email is my sign on name at Yahoo . com for those who might need to contact me. Cheers, Dave

Searching for it I found a cool coffee mug, group pics, etc. I have my uncles class photo but it slit and broke in multiplier spots when unrolled. I might look for 9ne in better shape. Thanks for the reminder! A lot of history at that base. Dave

I was not interested in purchasing but am disappointed to read this from you. Dave

25b, Please post a bio in the appropriate section of the forum. You should get plenty of help then. Dave

Pilot, Did you ever get a chance to zip the jacket to the trouser's leg zip? If, as you mentioned, "their backened separating Talon zippers" are the same size and interchangeable with the wartime jacket zips(for restorations) I have yet to see such a pair. All A-11 trousers I have ever seen...

Cool. My uncle trained there before assigned to the Intrepid. FYI, the link is to a different jacket. Dave

PiperPilot, please make a post in the bio section first. I’m sure you will get plenty of advice. Dave

Yes. Mine has brass teeth as well. Dave

Carl, mine has a Kover zip as well. That said I haven’t seen a repro, even a Walden’s, with that type of covered zip. Walden does have nice repros but I don’t know if they have reproed that one. Perhaps a maker here who uses their zips will know if it’s in their catalogue. Don’t give up yet. Dave

I had an ELC Star that did that too. I figured it was due to the PO doing a “timeworn” treatment on it that weakened the stitching. Dave

Great pics! I need to buzz up there one day. Is the display viewable only when there is someone present. I have wanted to set up something similar but just not sure how to keep people's hands off of that stuff. Dave Olathe, Ks

I think there is a dual sport Kawasaki that I have seen in modern US military livery. I was told they are currently used but never researched it. I hope to see it if "The Battle in Dakar" ever shows in the theater! Dave

Aren’t those zippers cool?

Aviator, thanks. I see this is your first post. Welcome, but please go over and make a post in the bio section of the forum. Dave
