Excerpts from his posts as to his knowledge of the Principles of Flight

Mk 13 Air Dropped Torpedo by
Kyle Boatright
I just finished the book "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" and it
raised some questions about the air dropped torpedoes (the Mk 13) in use by
the US Navy in WWII.
What drove the range/speed trade-offs for the Mk 13? According to the
spec's I've found, it had a range of ~6,000 yards and a...

Fuel leakage during in-flight refueling by
mark johnston
When refueling using the probe and drogue system, is it commonplace to have
fuel leakage from the drogue? At my day job, we have a foreign customer
asking about the resistance of an engine to fuel ingestion during refueling.
Apparently it is something of a problem for them, but they have not...

Q: Buddy store internal fuel? by
Guy Alcala
I was just wondering if any buddy stores carried internal

drogue, hose and reel, pump, etc. I have conflicting
sources, so hopefully those here with personal experience
can give me the straight skinny. If you can mention the
particular...

STOVL and CTOL from big decks - deconflicting ? by
John S. Shinal
I'm merely an amateur observer, but it looks like there are a
couple of issues.
Deployment to theater - means one fewer USN CTOL squadrons
aboard the carrier once in theater. This might not be a big deal if
you are mostly tasked with CAS for Marines, but for a large campaign
using two CVNs, would...

Captain Scott Speicher, a U.S. pilot who went missing during the first Gulf

Anyone have any experience with the F7U "Gutless Cutlass" by
MuseumTech
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...

F-14 approach AoA, is it really 15 degrees? by
sttp
Elsewhere I've read that the Tomcat flies "units" of AoA, not degrees, with
its AoA range of -10 to +40 degrees being converted to units in the 0 to +30
range. That would mean the formula for converting units to degrees in that
plane is . I've also read that approach AoA
for the F-14 is 15 units,...

Older airframes by
Jim
This time of the year I usually ask the regular readers of this
newsgroup which aircraft they flew years ago they'd most like to see
with a newer engine. Always worthy of many fine comments.
This time a slight revision. You are recalled to active duty for
combat overseas. You will return with a...

Whither The T-2? by
Mike Kanze
Curiosity question:
What is happening to all the T-2s phased out of service?
Davis- Monthan? (Somehow "War Reserve" just doesn't sound right for the
Mississippi MiG.)
Foreign sales?
Civilian sales?
Smelter?
Artificial reef?
