NATOPS by
Puppy
Is it legal for civilians to own Adobe Acrodat PDF copies of Navy NATOPS
manuals? NATOPS manuals for the T-34 and the F/A 18 are available
through public websites. One may also by them from companies that sell
these manuals for profit .
Anyone know of on line sources for these NATOPS manuals?

aircraft. If I had known I was witnessing history I would have gotten

and are equipped with rail-guns and fusion bombs!
Beware! They've got this technology from extraterrestrials, the
same E.T.s who once gave Hitler all the super-technology
the nazis used to terrorize Europe!
