I do believe he is the best troll ever, look at the number of responses to his ranting(s), including this posting. I used to have a lot of respect for Art...please note the past tense. Everything now is due to the "neocons" or responded to by "where were you, wannabe" Let's give it a break and...

I can't seem to find any confirmation, either way, on whether the Ki-45 at Garber is a complete aircraft or just the fuselage missing tail section and wings/engines. The fuselage appears to be in great shape and has been photo'd several times, but fuselage only.

AFAIK, P-51D's had their wings painted silver (upper & under surfaces) before delivery, while the fuselage remained with a natural metal finish. OTOH, I've seen some pics of WWII P-51D's with wings in natural metal finish. On a scale modelling forum, someone pointed out that "... the covering on...

We need some answers here as to why FOUR commercial jets were hijacked and flew HUNDREDS of miles off course for up to TWO hours while our air defenses did nothing!!!!. Let's hope they call that traitor General Eberhart who was in charge of Norad at the time. So far he has not been disciplined...

A few days ago, I rec'd the premier issue of "Bomber Legends", a product of the B-24 Liberator Club, based here in San Diego. For years, that org has produced an outstanding heavy bomber magazine called "Briefings", guided by an old bud named George Welsh. He is the current authority on B-24s but...

Hi, I recently learned that IAF jets made a flyover the Auschwitz concentration camp. Can anyone of you point me out to where to find pics of this event? I saw some published in an Israeli newspaper in NY, but I forgot to buy it... Thanks.

In the book Colditz, by Henry Chancellor-2001, he states that Bader, while a POW at Colditz,kept his orderly, Alec Ross, who was about to be repatriated, two extra years at Colditz so that Ross would remain his orderly for the duration of Baders' imprisonment. "he came here as my lackey and he'll...

There have been a lot of unkind things said about Russian hardware on this board...but... There are the following facts. 1. In most cases, it's been U.S. frontline (and face it, Israeli AF is equivelant to the U.S. frontline air force) against export models. 2. We've been fighting services with...

When was the earliest turbine powered helicopter? I khnow that the turbine is far more effective than an IC engine. Also, what was the delay? Was it just a matter of nobody really got around to it, or were there power/reliability issues with the turbines?

The Federation would like to show its appreciation, while the planet was under attack again this week.

Sorry for the delay, as usual hobby and work do not mix too well. Nevertheless, I finally completed a rough trnaslation of an article on the IJAAF bomber attacks on Saipan in November 1944. The URL is below. Ther are several errors, mainly names (including the english spelling of the airfield)...

Just read a very good novel by Homer Hickam (October Sky). Titled The Keeper's Son.. Lots of adventure and romance. A great book to curl up in your chair with a cup of hot chocolate and just enjoy. Stephen Coonts says it's great, too. Set on the Outer Banks during WWII.

Dear all: I am currently in the Air Force as a captain. I came in under the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) where the military paid for my medical school ahead of time and I, in turn, promised to serve. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I am being medically boarded. My date of...

Something I saw raised a question in my mind: An MD-80's T-tail had one half pitched up and the other half pitched about neutral. My question is why any T-tail aircraft would allopw differential motion of the two halfs of the horizontal stab? It seems to me that the rolling couple such a position...
