Re: Is it Supercar, Supertruck, or a Supercar Truck?
Actually the US Air Force was the biggest collector of these High horse El-Caminos. They had a Fleet of 6 for (then) classified activities through the 1970's and 80's. It is great history, which stayed classified through the early 90's when the fleet was retired- and replaced with another Chevy offering.
Does anyone else out there know about this?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Most impressed Hawaiian- you are way up there on the info ladder. Must have been tricky to attach the gear to the wings at speeds of 95+ MPH. Thanks for saving me the pain of writing it all up! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Is it Supercar, Supertruck, or a Supercar Truck?
No actually I just did the research to find the information out. The only others that knew during the active years were the pilots and the support crews, or AF personnel who got to watch. I understand that it was quite a drag race to catch the plane. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
