phantomfixer Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share #26 Posted October 7, 2018 Looks like a few ratchets 3/8 drive and a few sockets in the top try...bottom had no foam for the cutouts...most likely a speed handle or two and a multi meter to check for stray volts on the squibs...speculation .. yeah I love the markings...and the box with the corner feet and the handles are more in line with a 40s/50s era manufacture tool box..but paint and markings look like late 70s to mid 80s.. maybe a tool box guy will chime in.. the inventory list is missing from the packing slip ...sadly LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Ragan Posted October 11, 2018 Share #32 Posted October 11, 2018 As a supply guy, I didn't use these tools and boxes, but I vividly remember sorting piles of sockets and other misc. tools that had been turned in so they could be re-issued.

Back in the day the USAF had OMS, FMS, and AMS maintence squadrons Can't believe you would leave out MMS--without munitions, the USAF is just another unscheduled airline..... Yes, you could FLY without MMS, but you certainly couldn't FIGHT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
