France Bans the Term 'E-Mail' by
bsh
PARIS - Goodbye "e-mail", the French government says, and hello
"courriel" — the term that linguistically sensitive France is now using
to refer to electronic mail in official documents.
The Culture Ministry has announced a ban on the use of "e-mail" in all
government ministries, documents,...

Dan Rather forges ahead by
Cub Driver
From the New York Post this morning:
September 11, 2004 -- CBS anchor Dan Rather hung tough last night and
insisted there's no "definitive evidence" to refute the authenticity
of documents about President Bush's National Guard service — but a
growing number of document experts smell a hoax.

A-10 in WWII?? by
Stephen Harding
We've had a couple scenarios of aircraft going back in
time and speculation on what sort of effect they'd have.
I just saw a show on the A-10 Warthog with a top speed
of 420 mph. That's WWII fighter speeds (although I'm
not certain at what altitude).
Since an A-10 can carry something like 16,000...

Piper Cub Vs F-15 by
Emilio
It is hard to believe that F-15 can fly formation with Piper Cub.
http://www.pipercubforum.com/intercep.htm
Do F-15 fly by wire system prevent the aircraft from stalling at that low
speed? Last time I saw an aircraft with fly by wire system did such a
stunt, Airbus plowed right in to the forest...

Aircrew casualities by
ArtKramr
The common wisdom in WW II was that tail gunners and bombardiers suffered the
highest casualties among bomber aircrews. Anyone have any actual statistics on
aircrew casualties by position in USAAC bombers?

The Wright Stuff and The Wright Experience by
John Carrier
Over the past couple days I've watched TV stories about a couple of programs
to celebrate the Wright Centennial (Dec 17th) with reenactments of the
famous flight. The key ingredient to both efforts (are there more?) is a
reproduction Wright Flyer in 1903 trim. This is trickier than it might...

Max Cleland is CBS source for memogate by
Bob Coe
Here's the latest:
Bill Burkett says he faxed the memos to Max Cleland to use in the
campaign against Bush. Cleland then gave them to Kerry people,
but it appears they didn't want anything to do with it, and he then
turned to fellow Texans Dan Rather and Bob Schiefer to handle

Carrier Islands by
Thomas W Ping
Are there aviation-related reasons why the starboard side is favored
for the island, or is it a purely naval issue? If the latter, did the
practice come about because the first pioneering carriers were
arbitrarily drawn up that way and the configuration simply stuck as a
matter of tradition, or...
