Turbo prop AT-6/SNJ? by
frank may
Off & on over the years since turbo prop cropdusters (more politely,
ag-aircraft) have been being converted from radial engines to PT-6 or
Garret power, I've wondered if anyone has converted an AT-6/SNJ to a

PC problems after video of RPG shooter getting shot by
tscottme
Anyone else have their PC behave strangely after watching the video clip of
the RPG shooter being dispatched?
Both my PC and someone I sent the original link to are having problems. My

F-4 w/AIM-9 and bombs carriage question by
Guy Alcala
I've been looking through Shlomo Aloni's Osprey book on
Israeli F-4 Phantom aces, and I note that around the time of
the '73 war when they want to carry AIM-9s, they either

two AIM-9D/Gs on the shoulder mounts), or
2. only carry a single...
