  1. I don't know if any of the members of this forum have the fond affection for airplanes that I do, but if you do, this is the thread to post your love of all things that fly. I guess my interest started in a high school "Introduction to flight" class taught by an retired USAF pilot. Fast forward a few years I joined the Air Force and went to tech. school to learn how to "keep em flying". Fast forward a few more years I am in Nam as a crew chief of an 02-B (9th SOS psy-ops bird) and got to watch all the jets of those days take off and land directly in front of me. I also got to watch the older aircraft like the fantastic A-1E (Sandy) I also developed a love of the war birds of WW II. Here are a few pictures of planes I have worked on or had the opportunity to get up and personal with. Also a video I found that really gets your blood flowing if your into quick aircraft.If your also into aircraft which ones do you like.
  2. For what it is worth, I spoke to a Ford CSR and was told that Ford was going to try to get at least 1 2016 Edge to dealerships by Jan.19. I guess seeing is believing...
  3. I wish...This one too. I got this when I returned from Nam in 71. Convert.w/ hardtop LT1 350/330. This one would be worth a mint today, but it was really a pain while I owned it. Fast, but required a lot of attention...
  4. The troubling aspect for me is that the condensate will at some point leave accumulating "water spots" (from dissolved road dust and / or hard water) that will be impossible to remove.
  5. Yeah...Different strokes for different folks. For what it's worth, I like it.
  6. After reading this thread I am left to wonder if added loads on the above mentioned circuits / fuses will at some point create an condition that creates an atypical load that is read (by the controlling BCM or ECM) as a fault and throws a code?
  7. dt; Look @ the pinned post on the top of this page for some replies to your question. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18423-post-15b21-leak-repair-follow-up-report/
  8. Vadimus had a replacement installed with a "B" part no. back in Nov and his last post indicated that the new piece is moisture free. So now the question becomes; Is there a new and improved part or did he just get lucky with the replacement part he received? It will be interesting to see how many additional owners with this problem report their observations in this thread.
  9. I agree, but Ford tried to re-flash our car a couple of times before enough people were having the same problem and did the customer satisfaction notice to replace the TB.
  10. Sadly, if the root cause is the TB then no amount of re-flashing will fix the issue. I went through that experience with the TB of a 2010 2.5 Fusion. Finally Ford realized that my car (and most other 2010's) required both a new TB and new re-flash. After the new TB and re-flash were changed we have had zero problems with the scary engine stall while driving problem.
  11. If you have a thing for all things automotive this video is about as good as it gets. It contains epic proportions of eye & ear candy. Do yourself a favor and watch in full screen mode and @ an elevated volume. Enjoy!
  12. I am interested to know if those of you that bought a Sport primarily use the "paddle shift" for transmission function, or do you use it only occasionally and mainly leave it in "D"?
  13. Any more issues / problems with condensation drips within the light assembly?
  14. I just got this off the configure site and am hoping it is not really "this green".
  15. FYI 2016 Edge: http://shop.ford.com/build/edge/?gnav=header-suvs#/select/
  16. Denicio; I will be interested in hearing you reviews of your new V-6 Edge. Please consider posting your thoughts here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18914-your-2015-edge-review/
  17. Denicio; Congrats, which engine did you get / select?
  18. I was curious to see what sort of inventory was available in the Richmond Va. metro area and checked the websites of 5 dealers within that market area. I was surprised to see that there were 69 Edge vehicles on hand, (collectively as of 11/28) and more available in their "extended inventory" which I take to mean they can be moved from other dealers in the region.
