Somebody on another forum was trying to convince people that because of the gasoline shortages during WW-II that there were quiet a few aircraft that actually used diesel fuel. I know that people are playing with that today, but was it really used in aviation back then? Thanks, Coug

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...

NOT Bush- A Governor in TX stated he helped GW get into the ANG. GW chose the one A/C least likely to go to SE Asia(F-102). Knowing what I do of the A/C(F-102 capabilities at the time), the ANG(a flying club using USAF equipment), ther selection and training process of the ANG(selected for a ANG...

Do we have any LCACs supporting the relief efforts? I would think that the LCACs would be suited very well to handle part of the task of getting supplies on-shore (no need for an airstrip or port deep enough -- or still functioning). Just curious. Mike

Is the next generation of carriers going to launch planes differently? ie Mag Lev technology? When is it due out and is it still considered expirmental?
