Countering Widespread Ignorance About the National Guard by
Rick Folkers
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...

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...

Rolls Royce spanners - Merlin? by
Rik
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...

looking for modern F-4 reference by
Rob van Riel
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...

ECM pods on navy phantoms by
Rob van Riel
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...

F-4E at Incirlik during Desert Storm by
Rob van Riel
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...

JSF and close air support by
Rob van Riel
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...

Rockets used in al-Rashid hotel match "aluminum tubes" rockets by

Just from the picture you can tell that the length to diameter ratio
of the rocket is 11:1. It's known that the...

down a Bf 109 near Ploesti in June 1944 using his service revolver. Does anyone

relevant information. TIA.

The State of the Union: Lies about a Dishonest War by
RobbelothE
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...

Hurlburt Field Air Park - Post Hurricane IVAN by
RobbelothE
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...
