354 new messages in RAM tonight and all but 35 of them in cross posted to h*** OT stuff that was marked as ignored by the time I was through looking. Poor signal to noise level tonight.

Seems my niece's husband will be home from Iraq Saturday. He's had a stress fracture in his back and muscle spasms to go along with it and is coming back on a medical. Member of the 101st and is in Kuwait awaiting his flight home. She is, needless to say, pleased.

Let's get this out fix this problem so hopefully it won't happen when our soldiers return from Iraq.

Could someone clarify something for me? I flicked into a documentary last night about SAC and saw what looked like a B-47 with 4 drones mounted under the wings. I've never seen a B47 with this configuration. I don't seem to be able to find any specific reference apart from the YDB-47E, but that...

Anyone have any data in regards to the types of military vehicles and number carried that could fit inside the plane for air transport? Looking at the French Army vehicle mainly - thanks in advance Brian

I logged more P-3s today than I have ever before. I began hearing them before 8 am EST this morning, and I am still hearing them now. At one point there were about four or five of them in the pattern at Patrick AFB AT THE SAME TIME, while a Cherry Point MCAS C-130T and Charleston C-17 was there...

was watching a programme about the hog yesterday and was pretty intrigued on why the A-10 makes a "fart noise" everytime it spews out its 30mm shells . How is it caused just curious

A-10 crashes in Nevada, but its pilot ejects safely (EXCERPT) LAS VEGAS (AP) — An attack jet on a training mission crashed at an Air Force range, but the pilot ejected safely, officials said. The A-10 Thunderbolt II went down shortly after 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Nellis Air Force range in southern...

A question for any Warthog jocks (or fans) out the Why is the front of the right gear fairing on all A-10s painted gloss black? Is is a radome of some sort? If so, what for? Unless, of course, you would have to kill me if you told me, etc... Just curious, Kirk

We've had a couple scenarios of aircraft going back in time and speculation on what sort of effect they'd have. I just saw a show on the A-10 Warthog with a top speed of 420 mph. That's WWII fighter speeds (although I'm not certain at what altitude). Since an A-10 can carry something like 16,000...

The A-10 has a lift transducer on its left wing. What system needs a lift calculation? Is it used to program the slats in or out? Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired

anybody have info on the A-10X ? May have gone under the project name "Senior Prom" but that may be a total error. -- Curiosity killed the cat, and I'm gonna find out why!

Hi, Has anyone seen the current condition of the A-12 Blackbird residing at the Intrepid Museum? To my eyes, she is deteriorating rather badly. If you care to see current pictures please visit http://www.savetheblackbird.com. PLease be advised that the Intrepid has now moved her to the left side...

Looking for any information on the removal of the wings on a A-26 Invader, or the method of attachment etc. Regards Mark

I have obtained a bunch small of b/w photographs taken somewhere (I think) in Korea or maybe Japan. These are not the greatest images but seem to show an inspection or some sort of visit by a VIP. Can anyone shed any light on the where/when from the following description of the contents? The...
