I have a couple of questions about the RF-101C that I'd appreciate comments on. My posting last month met with no responses, so I thought I might try again.

The Air Force just can't stop monkeying with its uniforms, can it. Last time, they wanted to look more like the Navy (or maybe the airlines).

Does anybody know exactly which units are going to the Solomon Islands? The Defence media releases haven't contained much detail, other than the Australian infantry contingent will be from the 3rd Brigade. The Solomons government did ask for the SAS, but I take it they're not doing. I know HMAS...

I've been following the thread on the U-234 and was most intetested in the statement that there was a Me262 on board. Can anyone provide any substantial evidence of this, other than the statement that there was one on board? And if there was one on board what happened to it? I would assume that if...

General Jumper released a policy this week, that all Airmen will axe the high-tech bicycle aerobics test, and the troops will return to jogging, push-ups, and sit-ups by 1 January 2004. Basically the Air Force has axed the last of General McPeaks crap, and is back online to the days before his...

FORMATIONS, BOMB RUNS AND RADIUS OF ACTION Formation flying burned fuel. Lots of fuel. And the tighter the formation the the more fuel burned. And the further back you were in the formation the more fuel burned. Look at it this way. The lead plane set throttles for the desired IAS and pretty...

Recent reports indicate...
