What is the history of the term "section landing"? I flew for the Air
Force and we used the term formation landing. Is is a Navy term?


Held over from the old days really. A section or element was the basic
fighting unit in either fluid two or fighting wing, or in the Navy a
loose deuce pair. It became common to refer to any pair of fighters
landing as a pair as a section; ie; section or element lead and a trailer.
From another post of yours; I'm interested in your comment about the F4
having not much P Factor. How do you have ANY P Factor with an F4?
