Grumman Avenger as nightfighters? by
Prowlus
According to several scources the Grumman Avenger was used as an
improvised nightfighter on the USS Enterprise since radars at that
time were too big to fit onto Hellcats or Corsairs . Now does this
seem pointless or what?
Surely the Curtiss Helldiver would have been a far better
nightfighting...

Gun Pods on Navy F-4s: Why not? by
Matt Wiser
As the air war over NVN heated up in 1966-67, why didn't the Navy adopt the SUU-23 gun pod
on its Phantoms? The AF's 366th TFW certainly did, and got several MiG kills as a result of
the pods' usage. What was the reason? NAVAIR not approve or what? Navy F-4 crews were
screaming for a gun all...

gunpods on Phantoms by
Rob van Riel
Navy Phantoms were capable of carrying a 20mm gunpod, but there is an
abundance of references stating this weapon was worse than useless for
air to air use, and thus not carried. However, I can't really find any

Guns on fighters? by
SKSvilich
All...I was wondering: have there been any guns-only air to air kills by US
aircraft since SE Asia?
As an aside, what are the thoughts of those who have been in combat? Are guns
on board nostalga, or, are they a practical weapon?
Thanks in advance.

David E. Powell

Excerpt:
On the way to his infamous landing on an aircraft carrier, Bush toyed with
his Secret Service agent by intentionally shaking the plane from side to
side and then nosing downward so sharply they lifted out of their seats.

Happy Anniversary by

RAMN has now existed 13 years. Quite a stretch of time. Sadly though
we've seen what was a vibrant forum for naval aviation fade away.

comments of our drivers about their experiences coming aboard with
various aircraft. ...
