Can anyone ID this?

Yeah, it's a flat bed truck.

You're RIGHT! :-P

Why do you folks insist on identifying a low-boy as a flat-bed?

Because this is rec.aviation.military
not rec.trucks.military?

Shouldn't that be rec.trailers.military?

Towed gliders, targets, and decoys would be discussed in
rec.aviation.miltary so towed trailers would be in
rec.trucks.military.<G>

But towed military trailers are actually towed targets.

Heh, I recall the Navy got realy irate at us once for targeting a freshly primered trailer for grenade launcher practice off an old runway.  From three hundred meters it looked like a rusty old trailer someone left behind.

   No sense of humour?  It's not like they were still painting it at the time. Some people are just too picky about these things.
