1957: Naval Type Specification 146 by Marco P.J. Borst
Hello, Back in 1957 USN's Naval Type Specification 146 was issued to find a replacement aircraft for the P2V Neptune and P5M Marlin. As you might know Lockheed's Model 185 (later called P3V-1 Orion and again later P-3A Orion) was the USN's choice. Nothing much is known about the other aircraft...

Aw Rating merger and Today's ASW by Charlie Wolf
Well - in keeping with the recently posted NG charter for this joint, I offer this up: Do group members here think this is a good idea?? My days as an AW (S-3A's & B's) concentrated on sub-hunting and aviation acoustic analysis, ISAR RADR, MAD, et al. But merging the rating with mechs and metal...

Naval Aviation News by Jim
Has Grampaw Pettibone put in his retirement papers? Or is the staff at Naval Aviation News all on leave. The "current" edition is shown as November December 2004. Seriously, this is one publication I truly enjoyed over the years. Do our present leaders consider the wisdom shared to be of less...

The Air Plan by [email protected]
Once upon a time I came across an Air Plan from a USN aircraft carrier, and there are some things I cannot understand: Of course, mission abbreviations like DCA, SEAD, AEW, ULT or CSAR, are quite common for people who are interested in military aviation for some time, but could somebody, please,...

F-8 versus F-100 by Doug \Woody\ and Erin Beal
In the interest of getting back to a discussion on Naval Aviation in this news group... (I'm tired of the War in Iraq and German Proximity Fuze threads.) I recently had the good fortune to talk to several former Navy reservists at a recent Hunter Reunion for pilots. We had 35 years of VF-201 and...

BRAC Logic....NAS Brunswick by Andrew C. Toppan
I'm trying to figure out the BRAC logic in the realignment of NAS Brunswick, Maine. The plan is to relocate all the planes to NAS Jacksonville but keep Brunswick open as a Naval Air Facility. I can understand the rationale for moving to Jacksonville - consolidating the P-3/P-8 fleets to a single...
