Lexington Institute.

When you consider how much money Americans spend on defense -- about
$4 trillion so far in this decade alone -- it's amazing what a poor
job we do of maintaining our military arsenal. ...

Boeing 737 Maritime aircraft by
JD
I was checking out the new Naval Proceedings (I'm a new subscriber) and saw
an advertisement for the 737 as a maritime patrol aircraft complete with
hard points and weapons. It looks pretty cool, but I was surprised.
Does anyone have it in their present inventory or is it merely a proposal...

Humorous Naval Air Flight Experiences by
W. D. Allen Sr.
For what it's worth...
At the Naval Academy in the early 1950s we got fam flights in N3N
floatplanes. It was great fun. The engine flywheel had to be hand cranked to
provide the energy to turn over the engine to get it started. The plane then
pushed off the Severn River bank by white hat crewmen....

Guns on fighters? by
SKSvilich
All...I was wondering: have there been any guns-only air to air kills by US
aircraft since SE Asia?
As an aside, what are the thoughts of those who have been in combat? Are guns
on board nostalga, or, are they a practical weapon?
Thanks in advance.

Navy enlistment questions by
Atcrossroad
It's quite loser's story but, hell, I'll not fall lower by telling it.
I've made a big mistake in my life, namely, I've got a Ph.D. in
engineering from a second tier graduate program. Since graduation, I
had a string of sh*t pay, no benefits, long hours, dead-end postdocs
("permanently" temporary...

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...

Aircraft Carrier naming by
Bob
Anybody else bothered by the naming of US aircraft carriers after
people who were still living at the time? I'm sure that Carl Vinson
(CVN-70) & John C. Stennis (CVN-74) did good thing but to have a
carrier named after them? I wish the US Navy would go back to naming
carriers after famous battles &...

Phantom flight by
Raymond Marshall
Hi all,
I had a great opportunity yesterday. I'm a hornet driver by
trade, and got a chance to fly the F-4 on a qual/eval as part of
the test pilot school course. After trying to flare on my first
several landings like the Air Force IP in the back seat wanted, I
planted my last landing pretty...

IVAN--Pensacola NMNA survived (unconfirmed report) by
old hoodoo
Being a relatively new building, and I think built with private funds
to the newer building codes, the National Museum of Naval Aviation has
initially been reported to have weathered the storm intact which is what
was expected (with crossed fingers I presume) from such a structure.
