V-22 Osprey "ground effect" question by Robert
In the publicity photo's of ship landing's the V-22 looks like one prop is in "ground effect" and the other one is hanging over the side of the ship so it's NOT in "ground effect" Does anyone know how big of a problem this is? Does it limit the cross-wind performance? So even though it's vtol...

They have flying submarines which can fly with up to Mach 3 and are equipped with rail-guns and fusion bombs! Beware! They've got this technology from extraterrestrials, the same E.T.s who once gave Hitler all the super-technology the nazis used to terrorize Europe! The only way of defeating Iran...

Status of CVW-17 by Ralph_S
I bought a copy of Air Forces Monthly last weekend, that includes an overview of the current USN carrier wing compositions. To my amazement I saw that CVW-17 currently doesn't seem to have _any_ Hornet squadrons assigned to it. Until recently it had four: VFA-103 Jolly Rogers is part of CVW-7, as...

Helo 66 recovery? by DDAY
I stumbled across a website that mentioned the helicopter used in many of the Apollo spacecraft recoveries which had the big "66" painted on its side. The site said that this Sea King was lost in 1975 off the coast of San Diego when it got pulled into the water while using its dipping sonar. The...

Time travel by Jim
We haven't played with this for some time now. Seeing as how we have newer members let's see how this plays out. You have the opportunity to travel back to the '50s, '60's, '70s'. You may select any airframe of that era and "rebuild" it with modern engines, avionics, etc. The basic dimensions...

USS Midway Museum by DDAY
I visited the USS Midway museum a few days ago in San Diego, thanks to the discussion here. That is a beautifully preserved ship. The volunteers have done a great job with her. I asked a docent about a few off-limits areas. He said that the Admiral's quarters should be open to the public in...

Tomcat in Air and Space Museum by DDAY
I was out at the Stephen F. Udvar-Hazy annex of the National Air and Space Museum today (near Dulles airport) and saw their newest acquisition: an F-14D Tomcat. This is one of the remanufactured F-14As, and it is one that shot down a MiG in 1989. Oddly, it does not have a MiG silhouette painted...
