Hello I'm currently doing some research on the F-111 and would appreciate any help in locating the following manuals for the now retired F-111D and F-111F airframes, if anyone is able to help: T.O. 1F-111D-1 Flight Manual (preferably 1988 or later) T.O. 1F-111D-1-1 Flight Manual - Performance Data...

Does anyone have information on the RAF Beam/Blind Approach Training flights? When they were created, disbanded and what formation they reported to? I am after the ones attached to Bomber Command, the 1501 to 1521 and 1535 flights. The earlier flights were known as 1 through 7 or 8 flight and in...

Hi all, We just updated our website with a review and pictures from the stunning show at Ronneby in Sweden three weeks ago. Hope you all like them! www.afterburner.nl/ronneby.htm Fred & Maurice.

As many of you know, Israel stopped being a Democracy in the 90's when, to counter the Arab census, they brought in a bunch of Russians who agreed to be called Jews (although there were no Jewish institutions in Russia for over 90 years). Later, they brought in a bunch of Abyssinians, but still not...

I've been reading 'MAGNESIUM OVERCAST - The Story of the Convair B-36', by Dennis R Jenkins, and have been finding it absolutely fascinating. Plenty of hard-core techno stuff, esp. powerplant, a subject near and dear to my heart. What doesn't seem to be covered is the B-36's electrical...

A week ago, there was a discussion of the altitudes from which B-26s bombed the beaches on D-Day. I talked today with a friend who flew one of those B-26s at Utah Beach. He said they bombed from 1,100 feet. He didn't know what altitudes were used at Omaha. He added that he saw landing craft...

A stock car racer in an Indy car (in a full field) can't process the information fast enough, whereas an Indy racer in a stock car would probably be bored with the amount of time to make decisions. Wrong. Do a Google search on Al Unser's venture into NASCAR around '95-'95. Yes, CART was...

So what do you think makes this on topic for a Military Aviation newsgroup?

Funny thing about that, Art. I buried a lot of friends in my 26 + years in the Air Force, and always felt that the turn out was more for the living than for the dead. There is something about the military fraternity that does that to you. Read the first chapter of "The Right Stuff". Now, I play...

I think its time to thank all that are currently, or have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Independence is freedom, freedom is NOT free and many thousands of men and women have given their lives so that you and I, can continue to live in freedom. So lets not only celebrate our...

Hey Art, If you really love that B-26 of yours why not make a custom model of it? I'm going to have the Saab A36 custom made from Motion Models. They are the best down to the smallest detail. Here's a link: http://www.motionmodels.com/custom.html This is the custom section. Check out the USAAC...

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a "standard" airspeed indicator and an F-1 airspeed indicator is? Was there any external difference when one was installed? I'm looking at B-24's. Ed "'Twas a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it." W. C....

Hey guys, Does anybody out there have any good aerial *and/or* land views of Debden, Essex, UK (home of the 4th FG)? I specifically need any and all I can get of the areas around the hangars and Watch Office (control tower, to us yanks). However, anything around the buildings, runways, and/or...
