cruise. No wait, that was nearly ALL of them... At any rate, one of them had

Aw ****s and Bravo Zulus by

Everyone knows that one wipes out a career full of attaboys. What is your

tell about the best flying each of us encountered.
On Ike in 1980, we had Whales. Either one or two of the massive things, but
they were...

Guns on fighters? by
SKSvilich
All...I was wondering: have there been any guns-only air to air kills by US
aircraft since SE Asia?
As an aside, what are the thoughts of those who have been in combat? Are guns
on board nostalga, or, are they a practical weapon?
Thanks in advance.

JSF Tanker? by
Henry J. Cobb
Can the Navy version of the JSF be configured as a tanker?
Say replace the gun pod with a drogue pod and then load up either the
bomb bay or the wing hardpoints with fuel tanks until you hit 50,000
pounds.
Is this being considered?
How much fuel would this provide?
