G-1 flight jacket by
Jim Strand
Never managed to get one while on active duty. This year I'll need a
new jacket anyway so I'm looking at purchasing one. Can use some

choose goatskin, lambskin, or cowhide? And lastly what about...

Old airframe, new engine by
Jim Strand
Every year or so I post a similar version of this. Always nice to see
the comments. Seeing as how we have a few new faces around here now
lets have another go at it.
You are able to select any tactical jet airframe from the past. We'll
assume all engines would fit properly. What bird would you...

New Aircraft by
Jim[_10_]
Lets get this newsgroup back on topic. So for starters a question to
our retired and other non-active naval aviators:
Which aircraft would you have most wanted to fly that wasn't yet
available during your days as a Naval Aviator? Why?

Talking heads by
Jim[_10_]
Sure is irritating to listen to the media report the crash of a Blue
Angels F/A-18 at MCAS Beaufort.
The more they ramble the more anyone with any aviation background
recognizes these folks haven't a clue. For example; who went down?
Well let's see the aircraft are numbered 1 thru 6. Which...

Anniversary by

RAMN turned 11 years old on June 13th.
Only regret is not to have made it moderated as the cross posted junk
has been a pain to deal with.

Trying to locate the NAS Miramar "Fightertown" patch, circa 1960's -
1970's. So far no luck with Google.
Might someone know where I can find one?

Looks like time to return to our roots. So here is a variation of a post
I've used over the years. Let's hear from some aviators.
The scenario: Our nation is in a major conflict. You have been tasked
to go to AMARC at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base to retrieve and reactivate
airframes for...

Happy Anniversary by

RAMN has now existed 13 years. Quite a stretch of time. Sadly though
we've seen what was a vibrant forum for naval aviation fade away.
Can we get back on track with some relevant articles? I'd like read
comments of our drivers about their experiences coming aboard with
various aircraft. ...

I am looking for a piece of advice that was given to me when I was a
new guy in the fleet. Basically it said shut up new guy and listen, I

asking you...

In connection with the fiftieth anniversary of the commissioning of VQ-1 and VQ-2 next year, some of us Plankowners are interested in locating and contacting the rest of the living P4M-1Q drivers, back-enders and fixers to join in some small way in recognizing the half-century of contributions by...

Attention P4M-1Q folks by

VQ-1 had a forty-ninth birthday Tuesday (Commissioned June 1, 1955 at Sangley Point before moving almost immediately to Iwakuni, thence Atsugi and now, Whidbey). The VQ-2 date is 1 September of the same year (Commissioned at Port Lyautey and moved in 1959 to Rota.) The few of us Plankowners -...
