Gentlemen: Thank you very much for your kind comments about my Dad. I know he appreciates them as well. Here's the update: He had a quadruple coronary bypass with an aortic valve repair yesterday. As of this evening, he is completely back to his usual self; he was extubated yesterday (from the...

What reaction do you have to the size of WWII aircraft versus modern ones, where a "lightweight" fighter such as an F-16 is probably comparable in size to Willie the Wolf -- and a F-15 the size of a B-17. Must be a strange sensation -- I'd like to hear your thoughts.

We were formed up as a crew in 1943 in Shreveport LA. We all went overseas togethter. We were the crew of "Willie The Wolf", K9J, a B-26 of the 344th Bomb Group, 494th Bomb Squadron.

Recently I've been reading about the UK BVRAAM project. One question really: Originally it had four mid-fuselage wings for manoeuvrability, now it has none. This seems a little odd, since it makes sense that the more agile missile will have a greater number of control surfaces. Since then I've...

According to this week's AvWeek, DoD test & evaluation people listed several concerns about the F/A-22. The test fleet is getting more and more different from the production baseline, firecontrol problems and some hardware and software reliability problems. No mention of flutter. The same article...

Has anyone noticed the Union Flags on the RAF's C-17's? Is it me, or are those on the starboard forward fuselage upside-down?! May be they're in distress? Jim D

For those of you who have e-mailed me about the HG IV aircraft found online as a model: I'm sorry to say that I never heard of it. The Me-262 Heimatschutzer IV yes, HG IV- no! I've searched all the secret project stuff and paper projects but I can't find anything. The model looks interesting but...
