F/A-18D question: loadout for a model project by
Matt Wiser

two AIM-9Ms on the wingtips. Any...

Why Is the S-3 Viking Called a Hoover? by
Will Deatrick
Because the unique sound made by the engines resembles a Hoover vacuum

I was stationed at NAS Jacksonville from 1974 through 1977. There was a
display aircraft at the main gate that I believe was either an F-9 or
F-11. Myself, along with two other guys from NARF, were assigned to
paint the aircraft. We spent several days painting it in the Blue Angel
colors. I never...

Side slip by
Jim

Gasoline for jetengines on non jetairplanes by
Max Richter
Hallo,

reciprocating-engines were fitted jet -engines as "boosters".
