Will Ameriflight get Cash For Colts?

[DirtyBeech]

I spent some time in the DeathStar. The old Thunderbird up in Pampa that was rented to AMF deserves honroable mention.

Also remember that the Idaho Falls Colt had bullet hole stickers all over it, and I heard an AMF legend that someone had written "We Fly Airplanes Too" with ducktape on one of the Colts. Good times.

Ha! I was thinking about that the other day...

Im pretty sure you are talking abou this one. It was in Yreka. Someone "decorated" it in full AMF splendor and as rumor has it, someone in Yreka(one of the couriers perhaps) emailed a picture of it to BUR and VERY shortly after it was replaced with a brand new Ford Focus.

On one side it said "Ameriflight Company Car" and on the other it said, "We Also Fly Planes" or something like that, all in blue speed tape. :nuts:

I have some pictures of it, but not where I am so I can't post 'em. I'm sure someone else does too.

Actually it was Eureka. I had the Yreka run last year and there is still a POS colt, although not decorated as nicely...looks like a badger and a monkey got into a fight with the windows rolled up.

The '73 Valiant is still alive and kickin. or smokin. Its now the Crescent Schitty car. I guess ops figured we divert there so much, why not have a nice sled to get us around in the fog. Florence still has a colt. Top speed: 42mph. I would strategically park it under any large tree at the airport or the hotel with the hopes that an act of god would rain down large branches and trunk to put that thing out of its misery.

holy crap i didn't know we still had These dinosaurs kicking around.

LMAO Are those bungee cords holding the hood on?

 

[freighthumper]

They sure are!

 

[propsarebest]

Geez, and i thought the old tan one in SAC I used to see was in bad shape...

My favorite was the Colt in Jackson Hole with the bald tires. Nothing like slip-sliding your way to the crew apartment Mr. Toad's Wild Ride-style in the morning snow, half asleep, with 4x4 trucks and SUV's threatening to use your little jalopy as a speed bump.

Hey ESF,
I have had the life enriching experience of driving all 3 vehicles you have mentioned and had the most fun in Jackson. I was driving that same Colt in Jackson, the car had trouble accelerating and I suspected some problem on the way into town. On the way back to the airport I hit the hill by the Elk Refuge and the car struggled up it loosing speed, at the top of the hill the speed kept dropping and eventually the bicyclist that I passed passed me back up. So I pulled over and pushed the car to the nearest pull out and hitched to the airport.

Eventually that was replaced with an Ameri-focus, but I think they brought back the tires from the Colt you described. One winter day with the viz near zero driving with my hazards on, I passed two 4x4s off the side of the road and one accident in town. Later that month the car got stuck in my driveway that ended up in a service failure, the tires were replaced soon after that.

No one mentioned having to spray into the carburator to start the Rexburg Focus.

Still all better than waiting for a shuttle. This is where the ex-AMFers come to hang out.

 

[TransMach]

Yup, just hangin out ...
