I have a question for anyone familiar with flying the 747-200. According to news stories in the media reporting the crash of a MK Airlines 747-200 freighter at Halifax Canada awhile ago, the investigators found that the airspeed was some 55 kph low. It was noted that the engines had been operated...

Excerpts from his posts as to his knowledge of the Principles of Flight and his (Claim1) of military service. In (Claim2) he backs away from an original 'pilot' claim and (Claim3) demonstrates...

I have a friend that's trying to identify a A-7 fuselage section that he's trying to restore. All obvious identification marks have been removed from it. Is there a position in the forward fuselage that would hold the buno or construction number? Thanks for your time! Gene Buckle

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...
