In a group I frequent we are plagued with some-one who has begun claiming that he is a 'naval aviator'. Excerpts from his posts as to his knowledge of the Principles of Flight and his (Claim1) of military service. In (Claim2) he backs away from an original 'pilot' claim and (Claim3) demonstrates...

I just finished the book "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" and it raised some questions about the air dropped torpedoes (the Mk 13) in use by the US Navy in WWII. What drove the range/speed trade-offs for the Mk 13? According to the spec's I've found, it had a range of ~6,000 yards and a...

When refueling using the probe and drogue system, is it commonplace to have fuel leakage from the drogue? At my day job, we have a foreign customer asking about the resistance of an engine to fuel ingestion during refueling. Apparently it is something of a problem for them, but they have not...

I was just wondering if any buddy stores carried internal fuel,or if all the internal space was taken up by the drogue, hose and reel, pump, etc. I have conflicting sources, so hopefully those here with personal experience can give me the straight skinny. If you can mention the particular...

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 using two CVNs, would...

I was wondering if there were any retired Naval Aviators who have flight hours logged with the dreaded F7U Cutlass. I work at the National Museum of Naval Aviation here in Pensacola. We currently have one on display. Aesthetically speaking, it's a pretty nice looking plane, but I have read a lot of...

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,...

This time of the year I usually ask the regular readers of this newsgroup which aircraft they flew years ago they'd most like to see with a newer engine. Always worthy of many fine comments. This time a slight revision. You are recalled to active duty for combat overseas. You will return with a...

Curiosity question: What is happening to all the T-2s phased out of service? Davis- Monthan? (Somehow "War Reserve" just doesn't sound right for the Mississippi MiG.) Foreign sales? Civilian sales? Smelter? Artificial reef?
