FlightSim.Com Review: Formation Flying Every move he makes must be introduced gradually - the military teams actually talk their way through the show, with the leader announcing on the radio every move of the stick. Formation flying is one of aviation's greatest challenges, and the ability to do it with precision and style is one of the things that sets certain aviators apart. All military pilots in years gone by, and most today, have had formation training to one degree or another. www.flightsim.com /cgi/kds?$=main/review/form.htm

Beginning of Military Aviation When Wilbur returned from France, shortly before Thanksgiving, 1907, he had a talk with General Crozier and Major Fuller of the Ordnance Department and General Allen of the Signal Corps, and on 5 December, he appeared before the Board of Ordnance and Fortification and explained to its members the capabilities of the Wright plane. After the Board gave its approval, a copy of the specification was sent to the Wrights on 3 January 1908, together with the notice that it might be modified so as to permit any bidder to reserve as confidential any of his machine's features which he wished to keep secret. Orville and Wilbur Wright had spent the summer of 1907 in Europe, visiting France, England, and Germany for the purpose of starting negotiations to establish a European Wright company. www.wpafb.af.mil /museum/history/preww1/cof8.htm

Aviator's Slang Yes, military pilots really do talk this way! This is not an all-inclusive list of military acronyms, just the type of lingo you’re apt to hear in the Ready-Room, on the flightline, or in the aircraft. Originated from the practice of the government reimbursing farmers for crops destroyed due to aviation accidents on their fields. www.tailhook.org /AVSLANG.htm   (3830 words)

'Sukhoi' Globalizm and the Future This advantage in pay allows 'Sukhoi' to attract more experienced professionals and recent college graduates, which Pogosyan believes is a priority for the company, which at one point suffered greatly from the 'brain drain' caused by the outflow of aviation professionals to foreign companies. Pogosyan thinks that it is still too early to talk about a merger of 'Sukhoi' with 'MiG' or 'Ilyushin': such a move would require more time to identify possible joint projects around which such a merger may take place. Pogosyan also believes that other Russian military hardware manufacturers have to invest more in the development of perspective aircraft using the funding available from the country's defense budget. www.aeronautics.ru /news/news002/news054.htm   (1582 words)

Early Military Aviation History in Texas The instructor had a 'Gosport tube' to enable him to talk to the student, which gave this method its name. In this system, one instructor would stay with a particular group of students throughout primary flight training, and the training stages were overlapped. With no room for an instructor, there was no easy way for other pilots to point out mistakes that the Curtiss pilots might make. www.vintageaviation.org /history/texAv.html   (529 words)

CBC News Indepth: Canada's Military Aviation author and former Snowbird pilot Dan Dempsey said the Snowbirds are vital as an icon of the Canadian Forces, and the military should support their use of the Tutors until the government approves funding for new aircraft. But the idea of disbanding the Snowbirds is so unpopular that, in 1999, a general designated to talk about the issue asked that his name and picture not be used in the media. The Snowbirds are faced with obsolete aircraft and a shrinking defence budget, not to mention persistent rumours that the entire squadron may be scrapped. www.cbc.ca /news/background/cdnmilitary/snowbirds.html   (1321 words)

LAAHS.com - Military Cessna 337 / O-2A in Chile Their small size has certainly managed to captivate many professionals and aviation lovers; why should we then talk about its evident and undisputed utility providing services under the most varied roles? It can be truly said that the Cessna 337 has done it all and without doubt their flying days are far from over, both in civilian as well as in military hands, in our country and in others. The first of them arrived at the end of 1979, being a Cessna 337H c/n 01910, which employed for the ferry flight temporary civilian registration CC-KIR (not registered), although almost immediately was assigned serial 205 and was given military camouflage. www.laahs.com /art104.htm   (1321 words)

FACTS OF THE SUPPER CONNIE A total of 5O Constellations were manufactured in a span of 15 years and divided almost equally between the military and the commercial airlines.

There are three separate systems which enab1e key personnel to talk to any crew member - two individual intercommunication systems for the flight crew and radar crew, and a public address system with sixteen speakers so that the plane commander can direct ground handling crews from inside the aircraft. www.geocities.com /Pentagon/Bunker/3630/facts.html   (1321 words)

IRIN: NIGERIA: Trade Unions Draw More Support Than Opposition Parties LAGOS, IRIN, President Olusegun Obasanjo, federal parliament, Adams Oshiomhole, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Brussels, Belgium, International Confederation of Free Trade, ICFTU Ironically, NLC was created by Obasanjo during the late 1970's when he ruled Nigeria as a military head of state. New provisions sought include deregistration of the NLC and the outlawing of strikes in the aviation, health and education sectors. "Current talk of deregistering the NLC is little more than an act of vindictiveness because the government simply feels that our trade union organisation is getting too strong," said Oshiomhole. webbolt.ecnext.com /coms2/description_38746_IRIN281004_SEC   (2191 words)

AUFOSG - Flight of the Black Triangle Many discussions of these dark triangle sightings also include talk of widely-rumoured but as yet officially denied super-secret spyplanes purportedly flown by the US military. These secret spyplanes have several nicknames including Aurora, Black Manta, Senior Citizen, and more, and have been reported by such authoritative publications as Aviation Week and Space Technology, Jane's Defense Weekly, and Popular Science. Lisa reported that the grey-black triangle object was difficult to see, but she could make out its shape because it "blocked out the stars in the background" as it flew overhead. www.aufosg.com /page23.html   (4404 words)

Dan's Blackbird Page Like to talk Blackbirds or military aviation in general? The Blackbird, or "habu" as it is known by Air Force insiders, is capable of sustained speeds in excess of Mach 3 and has an altitude ceiling of over 80,000 feet. The Blackbird program began as a project called "Archangel" eventually resulting in the single-seat A-11 (which evolved into the more stealthy A-12, code named OXCART) flown by civilian CIA pilots, an interceptor version called the YF-12A, and finally the two-seat SR-71 (code named SENIOR CROWN) flown by the U.S. Air Force. birch.family.tripod.com /blackbird.html   (1728 words)

Asian Aerospace 2004: Jet Aviation seeks Asia growth A half decade ago, Seletar Airport was a bustling military field but the sound of jets these days is rare.

Airdisaster.Com Forums - British aircraft industry. France is also major exporter of high-tech weapons and military aircraft and its civil aviation industry is larger than most Americans would imagine (let's face it, we know zilch about the outside world), that's where those spiffy Falcon Jets come from, to mention one. Now if you want to talk about the fighter aircraft that contributed most to winning the war, the Mustang is at the head of my list. However it did force the Luftwaffe to ground their fighters during bomb-raids but that was not caused by its superiority over the German fighters but simply because LW was out of pilots and coulden't afford the losses anymore. www.airdisaster.com /forums/archive/index.php/t-47415.html   (1138 words)
