INS Alignment at Sea by
Gary Watson
I am conversant with commercial INS and old military INS (LN3) and know that
the best alignment occurs when the a/c is stationary. Now my question.
How is the INS aligned at sea on a carrier that is moving at 30kts? Does the
ground crew start an alignment below decks prior to bringing the a/c up...

JSF Tanker? by
Henry J. Cobb
Can the Navy version of the JSF be configured as a tanker?
Say replace the gun pod with a drogue pod and then load up either the
bomb bay or the wing hardpoints with fuel tanks until you hit 50,000
pounds.
Is this being considered?
How much fuel would this provide?

Question about StrikeFighter Warfare School-Atlantic by
Pechs1
Saw that one of my former JOs in VF-126, "Juice Butler" took over this unit.
But what is it? How related to the Strike school in Fallon? Is it a bonus
command or a twilight tour??

QF-14 by
bob urz
Why did not the US turn the F14 into QF14 drones rather than just cut
them up? How many F14's are left in the bone yard?
I see there are plans for QF-16's when the F4 supply runs low.

Why not use the F-22 to replace the F/A-18 and F-14? by
Guy Alcala

Also why not market the C-17 to the air freight community?
This has been mooted, either as is or in a civil variant, at various
times. For some of the issues involved you might wish to read "C-17
