Bomb hoist info

Wed Jun 17, 2009 11:44 am

O.K all,
We just got a hold of a C-2A bomb hoist and was wondering if there was a webpage where I could get more info on it and maybe a manual. Thanks all!

Thanks Paul, yup, this should cut our loading time down. It took us 25 minuits to load 5 bombs the last time on the 24 and that's with a crappy nylon strap winch!

You really want the C-3A set for use with the B-24 and B-17. :wink:

They come up on the 'Bay reasonably often, a nice one went for $200 recently (Item number: 310147319391).

All the best,
PB
