Our local trailer emporium is now carrying the SilverLite brand. I saw one for the first time yesterday. See http://www.silverlite.com/category.asp?id=1971 Overall I'm quite impressed. Quality of construction appears to be excellent. Fit and finish of seams, joints, etc. was very well...

I'm just about finished with a 1/72 Hasegawa F/A-18D and have a question loadout. I want to depict a bird from OIF-1, and have this load in mind; two GBU-12s on TERs each wing, and two GBU-31 JDAMs each wing, with a centerline bag, FLIR and laser pods, and two AIM-9Ms on the wingtips. Any...

As the air war over NVN heated up in 1966-67, why didn't the Navy adopt the SUU-23 gun pod on its Phantoms? The AF's 366th TFW certainly did, and got several MiG kills as a result of the pods' usage. What was the reason? NAVAIR not approve or what? Navy F-4 crews were screaming for a gun all...

North Korea says nuclear test successful 20 minutes ago SEOUL, South Korea -AP North Korea said Monday it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test. The country's official Korean Central News Agency said the test was performed and there was no radioactive leakage from the site.

I am afraid reducing the number of aircraft carriers might quickly result in decreasing the number of active Carrier Air Wings also. JFK, anyhow, has already escaped the axe before, when it became a "training and reserve carrier"... That may give us a glimpse how the Navy may look like in ten...

Subject: NAVY LIFE SIMEX ~~~~~ NOTE: The following has been edited for land lubbers. ~~~~~ A "SIMEX" is a "SIMULATION EXERCISE" ~ a routine that replicates every conceivable aspect of the real event. ~ ~ ~

I just posted some pictures over in alt.binaries.pictures.aviation from 1956 in Port Lyautey French Morocco showing the above named aircraft. If I had known I was witnessing history I would have gotten closer to the Cutlasses. Greasy

The MH-60Ss involved are from HC-11. There are SH-60Fs and HH-60Hs from HS-2 on the Kennedy, and SH-60Bs from HSL-47 also operating from the Kennedy (presumably they would normally be based on the escorts). Not exactly true - when I read the "Forward... from the sea..." vision, I felt the Navy...

I just have a thought of the above subject. Say you're the planner for an RN size navy, which one would you prefer, 4 x small CVBG or 1 x BIG CVBG? Say it's all for offensive purpose and not for homeland defence. I think it equates well in terms of tonnage and man power, but how about power...
