Been thinking randomly here. Is there any replacement for the C130 anywhere? Specifically, for short/rough-field use? I mean, hell. C130s nearly 50, ain't it?

Yes, I know it's bad to START a thread off-topic, but I have no idea how else to ask. OK, in my quest to look for bibliographies so I can do research for school, I figured I'd look on USENET. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to begin looking. Side-factor is that I only know English; Not even...

Just to add to my virtual "Binder of Obscure Trivia", I'm wondering. Where could I find data on the runway length needed for land-based operations (for takeoff and landing) for: F-16 F-15 F-14 F/A-22 B-52

To be fair to him, so am I, but I'm in Pennsylvania. It's just that my school doesn't have a USENET server, so I use a free one. John On Tue, 30 Sep 2003 18:50:24 -0700, twitchell wrote: Because we can tell that you are posting through a server in Berlin you phoney

[Note by author: This post edited before post to keep on-topic. Editing very basic. Apologies if some stuff doesn't make sense....) Hiya. I'm a newbie here. Please don't hurt me.:-) Anyhow, was wondering if anyone here could help me with a tiny set of questions I've had for a long, long time....

Just wondering what sort of night/all weather capability the Israeli F-16s have now that there is a large buy of smart munitions on the way ?

In listening to the 9/11 Commission's report on CSPAN, I was amazed by the fact that a C-130H just getting airborne was diverted to recon the Pentagon attack, and then also reconned the crash site in Pennsylvania. That's a busy morning. While understanding the crew may want to stay anonymous,...

F-18 lost power during takeoff at Raleigh NC's RDU airport, and ended up in a burning pile beside runway 2L - pilot ejected OK, apparently unhurt. Hornet is still burning like hell, despite a huge amout of foam, no injuries on the ground, and a few airliners have taken off since the accident.

I'm unclear on whether the high or low bird was shot down ? Any ideas on why one was so low ? Were they just lifting off, or something ? I don't want to discuss *anything* operational, I'm just asking about what info has been released. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com -...

I did a fair bit of websearching, but didn't see a complete list anywhere. Hard to believe none exists - bragging rights can be irresistable. Just curiosity. Primarily looking for air results, but would like to see "loadeo" results and such if they're out there. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com -...

Hello, I'm wondering which aircraft received such device : CONTROL PANEL EXTR LIGHTS Part Number G-4720 A-1 GRIMES MFG CO URBANA OHIO Another label on the back side shows : SUD-AVIATION GER 15 JAN 1970 IRAN

I am looking for more specs on the B24D Liberator other than just length wingspan and height. I am interested in such things as the thickness of the wing at its thickest point, at its leading edge and trailing edge same with the stabilizer. That would be the most important but I am aslo...

Just wondering! With its pedigree it should have been a winner. John --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.510 / Virus Database: 307 - Release Date: 14/08/03
