F-14 approach AoA, is it really 15 degrees? by
sttp
Elsewhere I've read that the Tomcat flies "units" of AoA, not degrees, with
its AoA range of -10 to +40 degrees being converted to units in the 0 to +30
range. That would mean the formula for converting units to degrees in that
plane is . I've also read that approach AoA
for the F-14 is 15 units,...

STOVL and CTOL from big decks - deconflicting ? by
John S. Shinal
I'm merely an amateur observer, but it looks like there are a
couple of issues.
Deployment to theater - means one fewer USN CTOL squadrons
aboard the carrier once in theater. This might not be a big deal if
you are mostly tasked with CAS for Marines, but for a large campaign

LIMA 03 - air and maritime show in Langkavi, Malaysia, Sept. 30 by
tbp
Have a prototype, advanced marine coating product to sell.
A worthwhile expense to attend this show?
From a little online research, seems that the air/aerospace dominates
- do maritime industries still participate?
Any comments appreciated. Thank you.
