RTB by Jim
Returned home late last night from a trip to the Dayton airshow. One seemingly minor incident raised my curiousity. A two plane detachment of F-117s were sent to the show. As is quite typical one aircraft departed intending to provide flybys at other regional shows before returning to Dayton for...

Have you ever seen a C-130 Hercules trying to do a hover over the runway ? by Iwan Bogels
Check out http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm This video is about a (then) highly classified project to land a C-130 at a soccer field, and get it back airborne from the same field with even more load than during landing. The landing test caused the Herc to virtually hover over the site, and the video...

Aw ****s and Bravo Zulus by Gordon
Everyone knows that one wipes out a career full of attaboys. What is your favorite non-fatal "aw ****" story? I thought we could also make a thread and tell about the best flying each of us encountered. On Ike in 1980, we had Whales. Either one or two of the massive things, but they were...

Wildcat on the Ronald Reagan by Charles Talleyrand
Suppose someone tried to land an F4F Wildcat on a modern American aircraft carrier. We'll give the carrier a few hours to prepare, and lets assume the carrier is at sea and moving. Can a WWII fighter land on a modern carrier? Can it get back in the air? -Much Thanks -CMTalleyrand

Radar from the 60s by Charles Talleyrand
How good was shipborne radar in the 60s against a 2003 airforce? For example, could a 1964 ship detect an incoming modern strike before the explosions began in the face of modern ACM. I ask both because I'm curious about the past and because there are navies out there using old-fashioned...

WW II - Diesel birds? by Cougar
Somebody on another forum was trying to convince people that because of the gasoline shortages during WW-II that there were quiet a few aircraft that actually used diesel fuel. I know that people are playing with that today, but was it really used in aviation back then? Thanks, Coug

Why was the SB2C refered to as the "Beast" when the TBF was bigger? by [email protected]
The Grumman TBF/TBM seems to be a pretty big plane at 54 feet wingspan and 40 foot length. The SB2C is only 50 feet by 37. I haven't looked at all World War 2 carrier planes, but the TBF is bigger than the F6F (and thus F4F by default) Heck, even the F4U is only 41 x 33.5 feet. Was the name...

CV-17 Bunker Hill retirement? by DDAY
I was looking through Stefan Terzibaschitsch's book Aircraft Carriers of the US Navy and I see that CV-17 Bunker Hill was withdrawn from service in 1947 and essentially stayed in mothballs until 1966. She was used as an immobile electronics research ship during that time. Does anybody know why...

Phantom-II development story by Tony Volk
Here's an interesting tidbit that I got while reading Airtime's book about the Phantom (looks great so far). Apparantly, during the preliminary design stage, McDonnell and an aide went around talking to naval aviators to see what they wanted. Then, they talked to the aviators' wives about...
