Hey Guys, Just a quick note on the Cavanaugh Flight Museum at Addison Field, Texas. They have some of the most beautifully restored aircraft I've ever seen. Their planes compare favorably to those at the NASM, NMNA at NAS Pensacola, Wright-Pat., and any other flight museum I've visited. Everything...

I found this interesting story http://www.virtualpilots.fi/hist/WW2History-NightOfTheBombers.html

One of my mates is building an AJ37 Viggen scale model and asked me if I knew anything about the weapons usually mounted on the attack variant, but I had to tell him I was buggered if I knew. After some research with Google, I found out a chart by Urban Fredriksson that laid out the Viggen...

Hi, I've gone through countless web pages and come up with nothing on this subject, so I hope someone on r.a.m could clarify things a bit. This regards the bombing tactics used by Mosquito FB.xx variants in World War II. Since the FBs could only use the rear bomb bay (due to the 20mm cannon) and...

http://www.newkerala.com/news-daily/news/features.php?action=fullnews&id=23511 Sounds like the C-version. Here's what i think might happen: Since Sweden has ordered "too many" Gripen fighters and the military has asked SAAB to lenghten the delivery time of new fighters (in order to free up more...

PRAGUE, Dec 1 (Reuters) - The Czech government should pick Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighter planes to replace the NATO member's retiring fleet of Soviet MiG-21s, a commission evaluating bids for the combat jets has recommended. A Defence Ministry spokesman told Reuters on Monday that the commission...

The Czech cabinet decided Wednesday to select new SAAB/BAe JAS 39C Gripen 4th Generation Multirole jetfighters as replacement over their MIG-21 fleet. The Swedish offer outbid 4 other contenders, with the US offer of used F-16's ending in last place, the Belgian F-16 offer came...

PRAGUE, Dec 18 (Reuters) - The Czech Republic chose a Swedish offer of Gripen combat jets over U.S.-made fighters mainly on technical merits, senior defense ministry officials said on Thursday. The cabinet voted late on Wednesday to accept an offer to lease 14 new JAS 39 Gripens, made by Saab and...

On going discussion we are having....only one black and white picture shows landing and it is suspect. Did this late WWII German fighter fly or was it even built? TIA,

Royal Navy's 800 Squadron page says "Each RN pilot faced the MiG-29 in combat and found the Sea Harrier to be a good match for the MiG. Thanks to the Blue Vixen radar the Sea Harrier won every time in beyond visual range engagements and also scored some notable successes when converting to the...

I've found a strange fratricide entry in ACIG's Soviet air-to-air victories of Cold War database. http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_43.shtml Date: Nov86* Unit: V-PVO Aircraft: MiG-23ML Weapon: R-77 Victim: An-26

US Army AH-64 Apaches based in South Korea have an unusual mission - dealing with North Korean seaborne infiltration forces. The Apaches practiced anti-ship tactics with Navy P-3s and destroyers in Exercise Foal Eagle this year. Their potential targets would be Gongbang class hovercraft, Nampo...

Just wondering, how were B-52G bombers supposed to find targets in anti-ship strikes? Were they to use their own sensors or depend on offboard targeting? Soviet naval bombers had big sea search radars, but B-52G didn't seem to have...
