BulletBob said:MB, if You are Older than the Hornet, You have to be Older than about 30. I was working at McDonnell Douglas when the First F-18 Airframe was Laid out, and I watched the very 1st panels go together, they were the Nose Section and Forward Cockpit of the Very 1st Hornet. That was, (The "Captain" is here) either '78 or early '79.You're just a "Billy Boot" Son! What's a "60 Fleet", MB? Also, You mentioned "AD Pilots", Hell I worked on the AD Skyraiders in the '50's. Guess I'm not Up To this new Military Lingo anymore, THANK GOD!
the little propeller whirlygig
without asking anything about capes/classified nonsense, does the little propeller whirlygig on the end of the Prowlers pylon store create power for the store (slinging trons is the lingo?)
I noticed that the C-40's in the pictures as well as other Navy C-9's and Gulfstream's no longer have tailcodes, squadron identifiers, or even United States Navy on them. Is this for security reasons since 9/11?
It's so as to not offend local sensibilities when on the road. Some of the VR guys fly into places where we'd rather keep a low profile.
