I recently posted a strong objection to a photographer pushing crash videos on the newsgroups. I've pasted in below word for word the exact quoted text of a post below addressed to me personally. Aside from the personal comment the photographer makes to me, which is fine, and fully within his right...

I don't post much around here any more, but I thought I'd drop by just long enough to share these thoughts with those of you who might appreciate them. Departing from the aviation scene for just a moment, I would like to again share with you a reflection about D Day that I posted last year about...

I've been back channeling for two days now with friends who are ex-Thunderbirds and professional pilots in other professions. Most of us are puzzled by the report although not at all puzzled by the results of Stricklin's mistake! There's something about this report some of us don't quite get, and...

When my wife and I got back from our vacation this week I noticed in a thread of some weeks ago that some of you were interested in the ACM performance of the Thud.

Hi, I gather there will be FOUR Italian F-104s at RIAT this year (all static) - does anyone out there know what day/time they're arriving? TIA Duncan

Hi, Anyone out there know anything about Project GunVal F-84Fs? TIA Duncan

Hi, I watched the fantastic coverage of SpaceShipOne's historic flight yesterday and was truly impressed. I've long thought of Burt Rutan as the last of the pioneers, and this one cements it. However, did I really see a Beech Starship flying past also? I though Beech (or parent company) had...

Why the mention of Redux? does that mean it's causing Gulf War sickness? If so, I'm sure there will be law suits coming from those that built the Victor (and Comet, which was Redux bonded too, I recall). Duncan

Hi, Does anyone out there have a contact address or phone number for the 92 Squadron RAF Association? TIA Duncan

Hi all, Best wishes for 2004! I've just updated my website to include a full listing of every F-86 type and subtype, with explanations of the differences between each model. I've also included photos of most of these subtypes (NF-86D, EF-86E, JDF-86D etc.). It's...
