My question is regarding Navy aircraft that I see, but do not see in the pipeline information. I live in Virginia Beach and often visit Oceana and occasionaly NOB. When I am there on several occasions I have seen several passanger planes, with NAVY painted on the sides. They appeared to be something along the lines of a 727. There are some smaller ones that resemble a king air, but I do not think they are T-44s. Does anyone know what they might be, and who piolots them.

The Navy also operates C-9B's, a version of the DC-9, which is probably the airliner you saw. Unless it had four engines and then it was probably the E6. I met one of the C-9 pilot at the show where the Tomcat crashed. I said that I've never heard of a C-9 RAG, and he said they're operated by reserves.
The Navy also operates C-20 & C-40's (which are Gulfstreams) for executive transports, as well as the CT-39 Sabreliner (similiar to a Lear) and the UC-12 Huron, which is a twin prop similiair to the T-44, but looks a bit larger from the pictures I have.
