Anybody know what the max trap of a Spad was? Don't know much about this
bird but I walk past one every day. Seems like it would've been a good
airplane.

NAS OAKLAND? by
Jdf4cheval
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?

QF-14 by
bob urz
Why did not the US turn the F14 into QF14 drones rather than just cut
them up? How many F14's are left in the bone yard?
I see there are plans for QF-16's when the F4 supply runs low.

most
fuel onboard. S-3's, then the E-2's, then Hornets ( the F-18's head
straight for the tanker), then Tomcats and last, Prowlers. Of course
planeguard is already out there, and maybe if in range, the COD will
launch.
