THE PILOT WHO WOULDN'T FLY
I am only telling you this story because he passed away two years ago. I won't
reveal his identity. Let's call him Captain Johnson.
Captain Johnson's plane was badly hit over the target. He and his crew bailed
out. But Johnson never liked to keep his chute harness...

German Scientists at Area 51 by
Erich Adler
They are still there. Why? If Germany has no connection to disc
aircraft why are their scientist still working in Nevada?
Why also is the Luftwaffe in New Mexico at Holloman with the stealth
fighters?

has remained unbroken for...

Why would an RAF pilot become a USAAC co-pilot? by
ArtKramr
I haven't thought about John O'Brian in years. But a comment made on this NG
reminded me of him. He was a bit older than the rest of us. He had a civilian
pilots license when the war started in Europe. He went to Canada and ended up
flying Hurricanes in the MTO. When the US entered the war he...

the "Hopeless Diamond" version:
http://www.f-117a.com/images/XST/hdiamond1.gif
Looks much different from the designs the Germans came up with for
their MBB Lampyridae (Firefly)... independently, of course. The German
design was much better at radar defraction and was from the onset
designed as an...

Boeing 737 MMA to be a bomber? by
Henry J. Cobb
http://www.king5.com/business/stories/NW_021704BUBboeingmmaJK.1323164.html
The MMA is a new version of the Renton, Wash. built 737. If the Navy
approves, this new 737 would be able to drop bombs, torpedoes, and
missiles.
The bombs will be carried on wing hardpoints rather than in a bomb
bay?
If...

Last Operational P-51 by
Joe Landeros
I was stationed at Edwards AFB with the Army from 1976 till 1983 when
the last operational P-51 was still flying there. I might have been
the last "regular" G.I. to have worked on 990. Before Col. Boyle took
off with it, I applied a commemorative plaque on one of the main
landing gear struts. ...

A couple of P-47 questions... by
Vicente Vazquez
1) When were dorsal fins (fillets?) introduced in production P-47D's?
I know they've been installed in P-47's as Field Modification Kits
but, though I've gone through some books and websites, I can't get to
a conclusion about when they started to be fitted to P-47's in the
production line.

We are only concerned about their high-altitude bombers. India and
Pakistan must find a solution to their high-altitude bombers."

I've always liked the concept of the high-altitude...

Pigeon guided missiles?! by
Jim Doyle
I found this earlier today, it may not be new to yourselves - but the
thought of some pigeon tapping away frantically inside a speeding missile
had me in stiches!

Hope it tickles something,

By a USNA grad ('59) and Rear Admiral (Ret.)
I was in the Delta shortly after he left. I know that area well. I
know the operations he was involved in well. I know the tactics and

CTF-116 (PBRs) I spent a fair amount of time...
