??VF-162-1967 VN combat cruise by
Pechs1
Reading 'Over the Beach',
Questions-
-How many pilots did they deploy with? They had a det in Cubi and 10 jets...
-Seems like a pretty unhappy group. Dept heads that were either labeled as
effeminate or cowards, JOs that got short and yelled at the CO, a JO that
turned his wings in cuz he didn't...

Tomcat question by
Dave in San Diego
If the IFR probe won't retract, what's the usual reason, and what other
effects will that failure have on other systems, specifically those
associated with landing. Got asked that on another forum. Relates to a
segment in this video: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/theairforcefun.html

Tomcat in Air and Space Museum by
DDAY
I was out at the Stephen F. Udvar-Hazy annex of the National Air and Space
Museum today (near Dulles airport) and saw their newest acquisition: an
F-14D Tomcat. This is one of the remanufactured F-14As, and it is one that
shot down a MiG in 1989.
Oddly, it does not have a MiG silhouette painted...

First Modern Air-Air refueling by
Charles Talleyrand
When was the first modern air-air refueling? By modern I mean
"compatible with a modern tanker/receiver (either boom or hose)".
This question seems to be tricky, in that many of the early systems
would not be compatible with a modern airplane.
For bonus points, when was the first carrier based...

Time travel by
Jim
We haven't played with this for some time now. Seeing as how we have
newer members let's see how this plays out.
You have the opportunity to travel back to the '50s, '60's, '70s'. You
may select any airframe of that era and "rebuild" it with modern
engines, avionics, etc. The basic dimensions...

Afghanistan and Iraq. This could come in any one of three forms or
some combination of them: A US attack by air power alone, a ground

anti-ship weapons question by
Rob van Riel
In WWII, aircraft used torpedoes to attack ships. Since the 1980s, various
anti-ship missiles are in use. However, unless I'm seriously mistaken,
torpedoes went out of fashion soon after WWI. What did aircraft use to
attack enemy ships in the meantime? Bombs, rockets and guns? Or was the
torpedo...
