Here's another Hunter Reunion thing. Met several pilots at the reunion that transferred out of VF-201 quickly when it transitioned from the F-8 to the F-4. None of them had ANY interest in going from a fighter to an interceptor. Was this common during that period? AND was it a mission thing or...

The site said that this Sea King was lost in 1975 off the coast of San Diego when it got pulled into the water while using its dipping sonar. The...

David- Something is fishy. BRBR I laud anybodys participation in the SE Asia war games. But how about stop this veiled slam at Kerry and focus on the issues in the face of the USA today. If you wish to debate records, include GWB and his family's ability to keep him out of harm's...

"We heard a little chatter about this earlier in the month; apparently China is test flying its own vertical/short take-off and landing fighter jet dubbed the J-18. According to my old colleague Wendell Minnick at Defense News, the jet is similar in appearance to Russia’s Su-33 carrier...

"Boeing has started publicly marketing two concepts for a stealthy, tailless, supercruising strike fighter to replace its F/A-18E/F Super Hornet after 2025. Both twin-engine concepts, which feature optionally-piloted cockpits, resemble a modern-day replacement for the ill-fated A-12 Avenger. The...
