I just acquired a WW-II Wobble pump(D-2) and would like to make a handle for it--can anyone steer me to a picture of one WITH HANDLE ? I have already broached an 8" length of 3/4 SQ aluminum to fit the shaft---I'd just like to make it similar to an original pump handle. Thanx Jerry

I'm just about ready to add weapons to a Hasagawa 1/72 F/A-18F (decal option taken will be VFA-2), and would like to do a war-at-sea load. Besides the two AIM-9X and two AIM-120s that came with the kit, what weapons would be suitable for a mixed war-at-sea load? I'm thinking 2x HARM, and 2x...

Sorry for posting on topic, but I can't help talk about the beloved F-14! Recently, I finished reading Tom Cooper and Farzad Bishop's book on the 1980 Iran/Iraq war, and the role of Iranian f-14 units in the conflict. Overall, the book states that the US and other sources greatly underestimated...

Got this from MOA today: Issue 3: Stop-Loss: The New Draft The more we think about the Defense Department's plan to meet wartime requirements for the next few years, the more concerned we get. The plan is to increase Army manning by 30,000 for the next few years. But that won't be...

Perhaps some input from the readers to this question can at least narrow down the possibilities: Anyone know who they believe was the 1st (or one of the 1st) NFO CAGs? This has come up an off-net discussion, and it would be nice to mark the appropriate individual in the CAG DB. Thanks.

"It's Boeing's latest artist's conception of the U.S. Navy's proposed F/A-XX replacement for the F/A-18E/F, notionally needed on carrier decks around 2025. It's described as "6th generation", but quite what that means I'm not sure - expect that it's tailless for all-aspect broadband stealth, like...
