Hypothetical AC-130 replacement by
Matt Wiser
If you had been given the task of choosing the plaform for a next-generation

This is certainly "aviation" and "military" - but I'm not so sure about the
"rec" part.
Came across this on another newsgroup and thought some might like to see
this excellent photo of the USAF Thunderbird #6. The photo of the ejection

made before the House budget committee. One of his proposals is to
reduce the way COLA is computed, and eligibility age extended for the

This 1962 UFO actually bears a strong resemblence to a Horten proposal
done postwar for the US Govt!
I know you guys think that's funny but what are the chances again?
Most post-WW2 UFO configurations match Vril, Haunebu, Lippisch, and
Horten designs...

F-106 Speed record questions.... by
David E. Powell
OK, now this is really old information, but as a kid I recall reading
somewhere that the F-16 set a record for single-engine production fighters,
with a top speed of Mach 2.32, and that this was (at the time I heard) still
a record for single engine production fighters.
Is this true, or did it set...

Something Fishy with Kerry's being a "Hero" by
Krztalizer
Naval content: Yes
Naval Aviation content: None
Political Agenda: Obvious

Future of DMAFB by

Any news floating around out there regarding the future of Davis-Monthan?
With the A-10's slated to be retired, local media has mentioned that it will
