I'm trying to figure out the BRAC logic in the realignment of NAS Brunswick, Maine. The plan is to relocate all the planes to NAS Jacksonville but keep Brunswick open as a Naval Air Facility. I can understand the rationale for moving to Jacksonville - consolidating the P-3/P-8 fleets to a single...

Good news for "Hornet lovers" - it looks like we can have two more F/A-18C squadrons upgrading to F/A-18E than planned... http://www.janes.com/aerospace/military/news/idr/idr050513_1_n.shtml Best regards, Jacek

I recently ran across a nice batch at an auction of glass slides of fighter & bomber & recon aircraft from about 1947 to 1954. There could be nice 8x10s made from these. Please email me at for more information and a sample slide. Thanks

In the interest of getting back to a discussion on Naval Aviation in this news group... (I'm tired of the War in Iraq and German Proximity Fuze threads.) I recently had the good fortune to talk to several former Navy reservists at a recent Hunter Reunion for pilots. We had 35 years of VF-201 and...

Once upon a time I came across an Air Plan from a USN aircraft carrier, and there are some things I cannot understand: Of course, mission abbreviations like DCA, SEAD, AEW, ULT or CSAR, are quite common for people who are interested in military aviation for some time, but could somebody, please,...

Around 3AM last night our niece called to say they had taken my father-in- law to the hospital. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure last November and has been staying at home with a hospice nurse visit every few days. Donna, my wife and Cynthia my oldest daughter drove south today....

Has Grampaw Pettibone put in his retirement papers? Or is the staff at Naval Aviation News all on leave. The "current" edition is shown as November December 2004. Seriously, this is one publication I truly enjoyed over the years. Do our present leaders consider the wisdom shared to be of less...

Any of you F-8 guys have experience with the J's radar? I have a source which states (and has a photo of what is stated to be the APQ-124 control head indicating the same) that the APQ-124 had a Pulse-doppler mode as well as Pulse, similar to the APG-59 of the F-4J. Was this mode...

I have a old question, maybe someone can refute, or verify? I tend to mistrust 'sea-stories' w.o. cites. Sometimes I think they likely true, probably partly true, or unlikely. But some good ones stick in my mind, from all categories. Making the rounds circa 1972 was that a F4 with folding...

Well - in keeping with the recently posted NG charter for this joint, I offer this up: Do group members here think this is a good idea?? My days as an AW (S-3A's & B's) concentrated on sub-hunting and aviation acoustic analysis, ISAR RADR, MAD, et al. But merging the rating with mechs and metal...

Dear all, After many weeks of hard working, but sooner then I expected myself, the completely renewed website of the P-3 Orion Research Group is now up and running! I have done a bit of testing and it seems to work well. Some section can use a few more pics, but those can be added later. What is...

The German proximity fuse. The development of the US proximity fuse by the US in WW Two is regarded as a unique allied triumph. Little known however is that the Germans independently developed and successfully test fired almost 1000 rounds of a similar proximity fuse near the wars end that if...

Hello, Back in 1957 USN's Naval Type Specification 146 was issued to find a replacement aircraft for the P2V Neptune and P5M Marlin. As you might know Lockheed's Model 185 (later called P3V-1 Orion and again later P-3A Orion) was the USN's choice. Nothing much is known about the other aircraft...
