- Is The Air Force C-17 Better Than The C-5 Aircraft?
by Victor Epand. All I hear about are C-17's and how they are going to make our work load a lot easier and not what they are going to do with the C-5's. The C-17 it's primary transport for outsized equipment. It seems the Air Force is doing the something with the 17's as the Marine Corps wants to do with the MV-22, and that is to put all their eggs in one basket. The C-5 (A model?) has among the longest "down" ti... articles, news

- The Air Force Will Replace The 'CH-46 Knight' Aircraft
From an expert opinion of flying the 'CH46 Knight': "I recently read an article about replacing the CH46s. And they are in the middle of testing an alternative aircraft. The Osprey - if it ever goes into service will have a tough time replacing the "46 in the hearts of those who flew her or were rescued by her! I was shocked to see a transport aircraft - the Osprey - with ejection seats for the p... articles, news
- Troops Would Rather Have the Air Force A-10 Warthog Aircraft
by Victor Epand. To me the A-10 "Warthog" is the MVP of TAC of warplanes. In Afghanistan, they sent squadron of AH-64; they took so much fire and got damaged badly. Call in the "Warthogs", they probable can opera rate in that kind of environment. I read that our "Aging" fleet of A-10's is going to be replaced real soon by the F-16 aircrafts. The falcon flies too fast, lacks the gau cannon, dose not have 10 hard p... articles, news
- Catapult on a Navy Aircraft Carrier
by Victor Epand. How can such launching speeds are attained with the referenced system. Something along the lines of a steam piston pumped up in pressure until a specially designed part breaks and the aircraft is flung into the air. There are two aspects left out that seem pertinent to me (as both an engineer and retired Navy engineer):

2. Prior t... articles, news

- Buying Used Aircraft Can Open New Doors For Pilots
by Ben Franklin. Making the decision to buy a used aircraft is a big one. Not only is the investment large, the simple fact of the matter is an aircraft carries some pretty important passengers, so safety is paramount as well, which is why some steer clear of checking out used aircraft for sale.
Just like buying a car though, used can most certainly net a solid piece of machinery if some common sense is used i... articles, news
