Forgive me if this has been answered before, but does anyone know the name of the cargo plane featured in "Flying Tigers" and any info on it's origin and fate? It seems as though it was Italian and a one-off unit, but that's something of a WAG. Thanks, John

Just wondering if US or Canada are still using Caribous for any purpose. Cheers

Are there aviation-related reasons why the starboard side is favored for the island, or is it a purely naval issue? If the latter, did the practice come about because the first pioneering carriers were arbitrarily drawn up that way and the configuration simply stuck as a matter of tradition, or...

We all have seen the movies were one pistol shot or what not causes the side of an airliner explode sucking the people, seats, etc. into the void. What would happen in the reality? Let's assume the plane is at the cruising altitude.

Anyone have a photo of the prototype CF-100 painted in black? AVRO Canada sent me one when I was a young kid, but I lost the darned thing. Also interested in a CIM10B Bomarc SAM photograph in RCAF colours! Can anyone help? Ed

The CF-105 Avro Arrow was often referred to as the most advanced fighter/interceptor of the day. First fly-by-wire, autonomous intercept capability, etc. Sadly it was cancelled with all proto-types destroyed. Many of the design engineers headed south and contributed to the American space program....

Flight Simulators as used on PC's should not be called simulators because they simulate too damned little. Call them flight trainers. That is a far more accurate description by far. Except the ones that are just games. Call them flight games. After all else has failed, always resort to reality no...
