747 engine takeoff power by
Gord Beaman
I have a question for anyone familiar with flying the 747-200.
According to news stories in the media reporting the crash of a
MK Airlines 747-200 freighter at Halifax Canada awhile ago, the
investigators found that the airspeed was some 55 kph low. It was
noted that the engines had been operated...

National Air Traffic by
Jim
Often on the news broadcasts I see a depiction of current
known airborne traffic over the U.S. Perhaps I've been away
from the field too long because I can't find a link to it on
any FAA site. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Is it
available to the public?

TACAIR Integration - any details, or speculations only? by
[email protected]
I wonder if there are any details available on which Navy and Marine
squadrons will be involved in the TACAIR integration plan.
As you probably know, the frame of the plan is to augment all 10
active Navy CVWs with a single VMFA each (increasing the number of
such squadrons in CVWs from 4 now to...

Phantom at Fallon by
F9pnthr
While visiting the flightline at NAS Fallon in early September, I photographed
a Phantom taking off. On examining the photo today, it appears to be an F-4E
from the nose configuration. Also, it's a darker grey than the navy aircraft in
other photos. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this...

The Longest War: Unconventional Landing, By Tom Hain
EXCERPT: "The flight started out like all the other Huey rides that
I'd been on before. There were no seats, so we sat on the supplies
that were stacked in the middle of the floor. There were no doors, so
it was windy and noisy, but it was a hot...

China/US naval air battle by
BOB URZ
Given the tensions in the pacific rim part of the world, it seems a
possibility of a air exchange between China and a US naval carrier
battle group. My question is what would be the likely outcome of such an
exchange? (non nuclear)
With modern SU27 and SU30 fighters, the Chinese seem far...

Any real-life advice on inflight refueling? by
tscottme
Frome time to time I play with a PC video game that includes inflight
refueling capability. It puts me in an F/A-18 and taking fuel from an S-3
using a reel on the port wing.
Can anyone offer line-up advice or realistic techniques for getting fuel
from the Hoover? I've flown the Bug such that...

F-14 Ejector Seat fatality circa 1987 by
rottenberg
In George Hall's "Top Gun", the author refers to a fatal mishap
involving aviators deplaning from an F-14 that had just landed when
the ejector seats suddenly went off. According to Hall, both pilots
were killed, but he had no explanation for why the seats fired. I'm
guessing that they were...

Phantom-II development story by

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...
