This post is for Art Kramer and his ilk who should ask questions instead of pontificating on subjects they are totally ignorant of. I have just about had it with the bull**** spread by people ignorant of the National Guard and its roles during the 60's through the 80's. My experience with the...

Anti-Kerry vets not there that day By William B. Rood Chicago Tribune Published August 21, 2004 Rood and Kerry: http://images.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/photo/2004-08/13907885.jpg Rood's citation: http://images.chicagotribune.com/media/graphic/2004-08/13909195.jpg

Kerry Coverage: Conservative Bias? August 23, 2004 George W. Bush spent those same years in a state of dissolution at Yale, and would go on, as we know, to plot how to get out of going to Southeast Asia. On that subject, here's a choice quote. "I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a...

Hi, I have several spanners stamped Rolls Royce, each with a part number, which I believe to be aircraft spanners. They also have the WD broad arrow mark. Can anybody identify these - could they be Merlin engine spanners, as I would have said their age is around the 1940's. Sample part numbers are...

I know, modern is not usually applied to the F-4, but there are still modernization projects carried out of these old planes, variants like the Israeli Kurnas 2000, the Japanese F-4EJ Kai, the German update that provided AMRAAM capability, and probably several others. Does anyone know of a...

Something odd struck me a while ago when examining F-4 weapons loadouts. On air force planes, ECM pods seem to be very common. However, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of one on a navy F-4, or any other navy plane for that matter. Am I looking at the wrong pictures, or does the navy not use...

I've found several references to an F-4E unit deployed at Incirlik during DS, but I can't seem to find what they were doing there. All other Phantoms were either taking snapshots or scrapping SAM sites, but that's a job for RF-4C or F-4G types, not the E model. Does anyone here know what they were...

Everything I read seems to indicate the JSF is intended to do air to ground work primarily with high-tech weapons like JDAM bombs. However, I get the impression that such weapons require a considerable amount of advance planning. This would seem to make loitering near a combat area waiting for a...

There's a picture of the type of rocket used in the attack on the al-Rashid hotel where Wolfowitz was staying: http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/homepage/hp10-26-03a.jpg Just from the picture you can tell that the length to diameter ratio of the rocket is 11:1. It's known that the...

Mmmmmm. What about the Naval reserve time Lt(jg) Kerry was obligated for? Havent' heard bupkus about that. Anyone seen a copy of his DD 214 discharge form????? Can anyone account for his reserve duty? Ed "If an enemy power is bent on conquering you, and proposed to turn all of his resources to...

Can anyone tell me how I can find out where the nearest DC-3 to me is located? I live near Eglin AFB, in Florida (about 40 miles east of Pensacola). I need to gather some information on its structure. TIA. Ed "If an enemy power is bent on conquering you, and proposed to turn all of his resources to...

According to my source, while piloting a P-51, a Capt A. C. Fiedler brought down a Bf 109 near Ploesti in June 1944 using his service revolver. Does anyone know the details on this? A Google search found only two hits, neither had any relevant information. TIA. Ed "If an enemy power is bent on...

Eglin Air Force Base, Florida will have an open house on 3-4 April from 9AM-5PM each day. Displays of aircraft, helicopters and munitions are scheduled.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a "standard" airspeed indicator and an F-1 airspeed indicator is? Was there any external difference when one was installed? I'm looking at B-24's. Ed "'Twas a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it." W. C....

I heard that the RAF was making thousands of WWII photos available as of today. I wasn't able to locate that web site doing a search. Can anyone in this NG provide a URL? TIA Ed "The French couldn't hate us any more unless we helped 'em out in another war." --Will Rogers

Ted Kennedy. What a hoot! This guy talks a good game but that's about it. He's a documented adulterer, major league alcoholic, and not much of a driver (one of his dates never got home alive). It appears his moral outrage is selective. He now opposes the use of force to remove a dictator (and his...

I noted some damage. The O-1 and U-10 were ripped of their mounts and turned upside down. They have been removed for repair. I also noted the C-123 sagging significantly to the port side, presumably due to damaged landing gear. I didn't see any other obvious damage or missing aircraft. Lots of...
