I've seen fragmentary reports of a Hornet mishap while doing "touch and goes" at Quantico recently. Sounds wrong to me. Anybody have the gouge?

Target Iran: US able to strike in the spring Despite denials, Pentagon plans for possible attack on nuclear sites are well advanced Ewen MacAskill in Washington Saturday February 10, 2007 The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,,2010086,00.html...

Can Iran potentially put a nuclear weapon on the tip of that torpedo and take out one of our carriers? If so this poses a real threat to our ships. If the weapon is as good as they say it is. -JC

Does anyone have any knowledge (general or otherwise) as to when the USN changed its policy regarding authorizing surface warfare officers to command the large amphib decks (the LPHs/LHAs/LHDs) ?? I'm thinking it didn't happen until after the 1970s. TIA. MW

Remember when this NG used to be about Naval Aviation?

I was told by one of my college math teachers that there was an engineering calculation in the early sidewinder days that involved a division by ZERO. No one could figure it out so they ignored it. The missile when launched destroyed itself in flight and the fix was to place a cross member in...

Do we have any LCACs supporting the relief efforts? I would think that the LCACs would be suited very well to handle part of the task of getting supplies on-shore (no need for an airstrip or port deep enough -- or still functioning). Just curious. Mike

While visiting the flightline at NAS Fallon in early September, I photographed a Phantom taking off. On examining the photo today, it appears to be an F-4E from the nose configuration. Also, it's a darker grey than the navy aircraft in other photos. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this...
