You gotta wonder why the media isn't jumping on this......... Saddam paid off French leaders Saddam Hussein used a U.N. humanitarian program to pay $1.78 billion to French government officials, businessmen and journalists in a bid to have

Three men are sitting stiffly side by side on a long commercial flight. After they're airborne and the plane has leveled off, the man in the window seat abruptly says, distinctly and confidently, in a low voice, "General, United States Army, retired. Married, two sons, both surgeons." After a few...

When I was in the P3 community (VP31), I was sent to NUW for Survival School. I forget how long it lasted, but I recall the "ogre muthas" giving us a time or two. It was cold and wet (February) and I recall they bused us out to some mountain for snow survival. I have no idea where the...

I want to buy a VHS copy of the Blue Angel Movie "Threshold". If anyone can steer me to a copy, it'd be much appreciated. Anyone with a copy they can part with, please respond by email Thanks JD

The new F-18 two seater (is it 'E' or 'F'??) was the topic of conversation last evening and we got to wondering if the backseater was a Naval Aviator or a Naval Aviation Officer. The backseater of the old F4 didn't have controls. I don't think the F-14 did either. What about the new F-18...

Subject: Our worst president? Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: America didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember,...

Everyone's seen the infamous photo of the F-14 at the carrier. Here's a link to an interview with the pilot. The pic's there if you haven't seen it. http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/interviews/snodgrass/

From American Free Press, available online at: http://www.americanfreepress.net/01_21_04/Admiral_Says/admiral_says.html Admiral Says USS Liberty Crew Left to Die by Lyndon Johnson By Adm. Thomas Moorer January 24, 2004 After State Department officials and historians assembled in...

The media and most democrats charge President Bush lied to the American people and led us into a war over oil. Even if you disregard GWB 1 and the war re Kuwait, in any attempt to be fair, you have to take these quotes into consideration: "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the...

The above P-3 (BUNO 153440) crashed into the ocean, killing all crewmembers, during a Market Time patrol over the Gulf of Siam. It was just after I got out of the Navy and I never heard the cause of the accident. We did hear the accident was the result of "combat action", but as is so often...

Over a few beers today with a former Marine and sailor from the Fifties, "NAS Oakland" was mentioned. The Marine recalled it was in the old section of what is now Oakland Internatinal Airport. One of the surviving buildings may still have Navy wings on it. Has anyone else heard of NAS OAKLAND?

Does anyone remember where it was from the entrance gate? The USS Hornet museum is berthed to the left along the waterfront, but I can't remember where the O-club was. I've been invited to a gathering there, and can't even find an old map of the station. Thanks!

Taking off from Honolulu International yesterday, I happened to look out the window of the B 757 and caught what looked like four P-3s in the USN color scheme used before dull all-grey became the standard. They were almost directly below, and we were gone before I could clearly make them out. They...

I was told a story once by someone who worked at Grumman concerning the F-14. It seems that one day a crew took up an F-14 and shortly after take off found that the pitch controls (elevons?) were stuck causing the aircraft to pitch up uncontrollably. By increasing power the crew was able to keep...

My father in law has told me an interesting story about a crash of a Martin P5M Marlin flying boat patrol bomber. The crash occured in 1954 near Horta, Azores Islands. My father in law was on board the seaplane tender Currituck AV 7. Apparently Pan Am flying boats used to take off from the harbor...

When my father was coming home from Japan in January of 1946 the ship he was encountered free floating mines that were destroyed by massed rifle fire from the ship. Dad thinks he it two of them but with so many men shooting no one can be sure who hit the detonators that destroyed the mine. How...

I have a photograph of three Grumman F3F biplane fighters in formation. Thier side numbers all begin with 2-MF and then different numbers in the third and last position. I believe 2 stands for the Carrier Lexington CV 2. What does MF stand for? Marine Fighter? Did Marine fighter squadrons...
