Here's a few:

It's sounding more and more like it was a USMC Harrier that the Major was referring to. Probably called in because the RAF Harriers do not have a gun. It does beg the question: Why send aircraft without a gun for close air support?

As this thread has been resurrected, what's going on with VFA-32? I see that VFA-11 have been moved to CVW-3, so where does that leave the Swordsmen?

The low vis VF-111 decals in the Revell kit are bogus. It's a hybrid scheme that never existed. Stay with the Zotz decals.

No doubt there are numerous exceptions to my rash generalisations.

No disrespect to the USAF, but I find the USN far more enlightened when it comes to people taking an interest in their organisation. However, if you're after KC-135s it's a kind of irrelevant, but I've not posted in a while.

Well if he is from London he may not like the callsign 'Iron' unless he has been on some of these 'pride' marches recently.

VF-111 were disestablished in the mid 90's!!!

Ian Black said a similar thing about the EE Lightning. Apparently carrying a couple of Red Tops gave better nose authority

I'm sorry to hear that sad news. You could guarantee that you were going to get a quality book if it had his name on the cover.

This is what she (BuNo 159629) looked like on the 10th March. The only F-14 that carried an AIM-7 that day.

BuNo 161159 is AJ-204. It's the last Tomcat to complete a combat mission.

I believe that the maiden cruise of the Stennis had CVW-7 on board.

Not true, I'm afraid. There were plenty of new build F-14Bs.
