Marine Corps or Navy by
[email protected]
I am interested in pursuing a career in the Navy or Marine Corps,
quite possibly as an Aviation officer. I recently met with a former
Army officer, and he was telling me about parts of a military career
that I didn't know about. For example, he mentioned that you can
become a "military attache" in...

technical question from The Movie by
Tag
Maverick is sitting in the TACTS trailer getting his ass kicked for
performing a split S when he should have been thinking about how to save his
$40 million dollar airplane. Viper says if he selected zone 5 he could
extend his escape. What does zone 5 mean ? Always wondered about this.

A6 Intruder----Question? by
Kurt {:{
Hi,
-
I was to an air show awhile back. I was inspecting a Navy A6 Intruder. I
caught the exhaust end of the tail pipe and noticed a circumference of
mesh "feathers" on the inner ID, that honestly looked like dragonfly
wings, gossamer in texture. I wonder what the function of this is, what

I happened to be passing through SF a week ago while the Blue Angles were

Old airframe, new engine by
Jim Strand
Every year or so I post a similar version of this. Always nice to see
the comments. Seeing as how we have a few new faces around here now
lets have another go at it.
You are able to select any tactical jet airframe from the past. We'll
assume all engines would fit properly. What bird would you...

Vietnam. Any US planes lost in China ? by
Mike
Were there ever any United States combat planes lost in China during
the Vietnam war ? Some of our planes must have flown close enough to
China that they may have possibly had to crash there.

INS Alignment at Sea by
Larry
How is the INS aligned at sea on a carrier that is moving at 30kts?
Actually it was quite a challenge.
I was AEAN Flight Deck Troubleshooter assigned to VAW-116, launching the
E-2C Hawkeye off the pointy end of the USS Constellation during the WestPac
of 80-81 when we had to do a "handset align"...

Question about StrikeFighter Warfare School-Atlantic by
Pechs1
Saw that one of my former JOs in VF-126, "Juice Butler" took over this unit.
But what is it? How related to the Strike school in Fallon? Is it a bonus
command or a twilight tour??

INS Alignment at Sea by
Gary Watson
I am conversant with commercial INS and old military INS (LN3) and know that
the best alignment occurs when the a/c is stationary. Now my question.
How is the INS aligned at sea on a carrier that is moving at 30kts? Does the
ground crew start an alignment below decks prior to bringing the a/c up...
