Hearing all such news all over again I cannot resist the impression the U.S. military is going to a catastrophe, like - for example - facing the lack of tactical electronic warfare aircraft when a next local war breaks out. When the time is a key factor, they finally may have to choose the...

When I visited Iwakuni in '85 (was stationed there from '73-'76), there was an entire A-7 squadron there, billed as a "spare" for the Midway, or whichever other boat was doing IO duty at the time. Don't recall too much else of what I learned in a 15 minute conversation with one of...

I am attempting to research the history of Airborne Dead Reckoning Equipment. By this I mean such systems as the AN/ASN-7 Dead Reckoning Navigation Computer by Ford Instrument or the AN/ASA-14 Dead Reckoning Tracer by Servo Corporation, and their precursors. My interest is primarily in the...

I am looking for information and pictures about USN A-7 Corsairs stationed at MCAS Iwakuni Japan back in the mid 1980's. Please email me at Thanks Bill Wesley

Hi, I'll be passing through Pensacola in a few weeks and want to see the naval aviation museum, so I'll be spending at least one night in the area. Does anyone have any hotel recommendations? --lw--

I was wondering if there were any retired Naval Aviators who have flight hours logged with the dreaded F7U Cutlass. I work at the National Museum of Naval Aviation here in Pensacola. We currently have one on display. Aesthetically speaking, it's a pretty nice looking plane, but I have read a lot of...

I believe the number of 60Bs on board the Lincoln is greater than only 2-3. As someone wrote somewhe the exact mix of aircraft aboard a carrier may depend on its mission, or the particular deplyment. The question is: whether the large number of SH-60B's here was specially tailored for the...

Paminifarm CyberArt (??) sez: lots of mumbojumbo snipped Uh, I think your tin foil hats should be sent to the cleaners. Hope you have a spare.

The MH-60Ss involved are from HC-11. There are SH-60Fs and HH-60Hs from HS-2 on the Kennedy, and SH-60Bs from HSL-47 also operating from the Kennedy (presumably they would normally be based on the escorts). Not exactly true - when I read the "Forward... from the sea..." vision, I felt the Navy...

Hello group. I found this link and figured a lot of guys here should get a laugh. Sort of a twist on the urban legend about saltpeter in the chow at basic training. Or maybe "what happens on cruise stays on...

I have decided to release this year, some specific data, background information, and photographic memorabilia connected with the International Fighter Pilots Fellowship. Anyone interested in viewing this material, may do so through a Google search for IFPF HISTORY. Thank you Dudley...
