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. Stefan Humble Cessna Driver

Navy enlistment questions by Atcrossroad
It's quite loser's story but, hell, I'll not fall lower by telling it. I've made a big mistake in my life, namely, I've got a Ph.D. in engineering from a second tier graduate program.

Stennis (CVN-74) did good thing but to have a carrier named after them? I wish the US Navy would go back to naming carriers after famous battles &...
