Saddam Capture - End to resistance? by
Tuollaf43
The capture of Saddam Hussein (assuming that he is saddam and not a
double or a plant) is a great morale boost for the US and assorted
allies in Iraq. Wonder what effect, if any, it will have on continued
resistance in Iraq.

How Good a Replica? by
Ashton Archer III
How close to the original Wright Flyer is the new replica?
Is it also true that the reason it won't fly is that modern flyers
can't mimic the Wright brothers art of handling wing warp as good or
that the conditions for modern flight HAVE to be better than in 1903?
Will the replica attempt to fly...

Legality of owning ex-military intercontinental aircraft. by
Bill Silvey
Hiya group.
I can't recall if I've asked this before, but does anyone know what the
legal status of a privately purchased airframe like, say, a B47 or B36 (or,
heaven forbid, a B52 or Tu-95) would be presuming the owner could refurbish
the aircraft to operational capability?
I think at least the...

Quick guide to the F-35 JSF versions. by
Henry J Cobb
Why do we need three different versions of the F-35?
What are the service requirements that are driving these three versions?
The Air Force's F-35A is the least expensive version and it requires
F/A-22s to clear the way so the Air Force needs runways anyway. Because
the Air Force always needs...

F15E/1941 by
Bob Urz
I know similar scenarios were made into a movie.
But, if on Dec 1941 you had two strike eagles.
Only two. Your sortie arrived at the Japanese fleet
about the time 1/2 of the first wave was launched.
Question 1#
given the choice of any weaponry available for the F15,

Flanker vs F-15 by
Boomer
I'm no aerodynamicist but I've been running some numbers and noticed some
interesting things.
The SU-27 is credited with being more manueverable than F-15 and yet F-15
has a higher TTW number (except at gross) and a lower wing loading by a
large margin (again except at gross). The SU should...

F-106 Speed record questions.... by
David E. Powell
OK, now this is really old information, but as a kid I recall reading
somewhere that the F-16 set a record for single-engine production fighters,
with a top speed of Mach 2.32, and that this was (at the time I heard) still
a record for single engine production fighters.
Is this true, or did it set...

Sgt. Greigo's Flak Jacket
Emilio Griego was our engineer/tail gunner. He was short smiley fellow with a
shy grin and a shy manner. When you spoke to him he would look at the ground,
smiling but always answer you with a snappy "Yes Sir" and get to work with
great energy and dedication. He was a...

European military prowess by
Cub Driver
There was a post recently extolling the war-fighting ability of the
Germany army. Alas, it's gone from my screen.
However, I must point out the whatever the German army adopts in the
line of technological wonders, it will remain a joke at its present
size and budget. No doubt it could overwhelm...
