National Air Traffic by Jim
Often on the news broadcasts I see a depiction of current known airborne traffic over the U.S. Perhaps I've been away from the field too long because I can't find a link to it on any FAA site. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Is it available to the public?

Phantom at Fallon by F9pnthr
While visiting the flightline at NAS Fallon in early September, I photographed a Phantom taking off. On examining the photo today, it appears to be an F-4E from the nose configuration. Also, it's a darker grey than the navy aircraft in other photos. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this...

The Longest War: Unconventional Landing, By Tom Hain EXCERPT: "The flight started out like all the other Huey rides that I'd been on before.

China/US naval air battle by BOB URZ

F-14 Ejector Seat fatality circa 1987 by rottenberg
