Who doesn't love all types of 'Jugs'? :heart:


I think you're right. They have done quite the restoration on those jugs. I'm sure the hard points are original but looks like a lot of fabrication has been done. Regardless I like seeing them in tight formation. Heck I'd be happy just being in the cockpit making motor noises.
:shock:

I gotta admit, that is one of the best inflight formations I have seen, sleek likes, perfect formation.

Well I must say for an original heritage formation they look pretty good. Although, I'm still skeptical that she didn't have at least a top overhaul.

Hi Guys,

Yes I must concur here, I see no evidence or need for top overhaul here. I that the OEM Mfg. did a perfect job. And it's not often you see such a beautiful inflight formation such as this. Heck, I think that the OEM Mfg. figures that there is no need even for a pre-flight inspection on either :D :lol: And I think I would add to that is that there is no need for restoration or Overhaul....and I've been a structures inspector for 20 years. :lol:

Always preflight jugs in the event these should become inverted during rotation or unusal attitude where recovery may or may not be required...she's tough

I have enjoyed the Mexican Jugs thread, but I note that Jugs were not limited to Mexico, there were many different nationalites that used them

Has anyone got a good picture of Brazilian, French or Italian Jugs?

I've definately always preferred factory originals over those modified to supposedly improve performance. 8)
