	TARGET TUG MOSQUITO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The Corgi "Aviation Archive" is the definitive scale model collection charting the history of flight and commemorating significant military and civil aircraft and events from the early pioneering years to the present day.
		Three towed targets could be carried in the aircraft’s bomb bay, and the target-towing gear, which was installed at the rear and underneath the aircraft, included 6,000 ft. of nontwisting steel cable and four drogues.
		The winch was fixed to a pylon on the starboard wing centre-section and a second crew member was carried to operate the winch mechanism.

		The B-17 was also used in the Pacific theatre against the Japanese forces in the early part of the war.
		Considered one of the best fighters of the war, the P-51D was used extensively in the Pacific in 1945 and was far superior to the Japanese aircraft it encountered, destroying many enemy aircraft.
		Of the six aircraft that were involved five were shot down and the remaining one severely damaged without hitting their targets.

		Shifting to Boston, Mass.—via the Cape Cod Canal—soon thereafter, the tug towed a coal barge to the New York Navy Yard on 25 and 26 April and subsequently towed the cruiser Salem from Philadelphia to the Boston Navy Yard before she returned, via Philadelphia, to Charleston on 19 May, towing the torpedo boat Barney.
		She subsequently towed targets for battleships engaging in gunnery exercises off the southern drill grounds, off the Virginia capes, and later laid buoys at the Potomac River Torpedo Range, off the mouth of the St. Mary's River.
		Recommissioned at the Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, Calif., on 15 March 1933, Wando was reclassified on 27 February 1936 from a seagoing tug (AT) to a harbor tug, YT-123.

		The Target Tug Flight was formed at Kalaikunda Air Base in West Bengal during 1972.
		It is a re-useable pilotless target aircraft, which has been accepted as the standard aerial target for the Indian Air Force, Navy and Army.
		The Lakshya is a fully manoeuvrable aerial target system for training air to air missile firing, air defence guns and surface to air missile firing.

	Tugging 101
		Tugging is a personal interaction between human and dog that increases drive, attaches prey drive to biting the disc, makes the inside game fun, and has a host of other benefits that would seem to be unrelated.
		When we engage the dog in tugging, it is very important that our command to release is always obeyed so that we use their desire for the game as the motivator for behaving well.
		You are basically inserting the tug into her mouth, tugging with her and then making her lose every time for a treat.

		The Miles Martinet was a dedicated target tug evolved from the Master Mk II.
		However it is most certainly there as the pylon to guide the target drogue can be seen on the bottom of the fuselage.
		Also plain to see is part of one of the fl stripes from the fl and yellow striped target tug scheme.

	Hawker Hotspur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		It was derived from the Hawker Henley which was originally planned as a two seat light bomber, but went into RAF service as a target tug.
		The concept of the turret fighter did not prove successful, so many Defiants were converted to target tugs and replaced the Henleys.
		Although better as a target tug than the Henley, the Defiant was still far from perfect.

	USS Achomawi
		The tug departed Charleston on 28 November bound for the Chesapeake Bay for shakedown training.
		The tug transited the Panama Canal late in January 1945 and continued on to San Pedro, Calif., where she arrived on 17 February.
		Upon her arrival in Hawaiian waters on the 16th, the tug commenced target towing and mooring duties in the Pearl Harbor area and remained at the task until 22 May, when she shaped a course to Okmawa with three barges in tow.

	Haze Gray & Underway Photo Feature: "Flush Deck" Destroyers
		She recommissioned as a target ship 19 Dec 1931 and served through 1940 as a target ship in the Pacific Fleet.
		Following DMS service she acted as a target tug around San Diego from 1944 to March 1945.
		In March 1945 she was stripped for use as a high speed target tug near the front lines in the Pacific, and designated AG 19 once again.

	R/C Combat Association Combat Forum - THIS IS A BLAST!
		I have a 72" wing B-24 that we use as a streamer tug, and catching a streamer in pure pursuit is very hard.
		I've used the target tug approach a lot to train Brian, Eric, and some other noobs as well.
		I also learned early on that a lumbering target tug is not the best (I tried a trainer at first and it just didn't work well)- having a tug that is fairly closely matched in speed to the pursuit plane is better.

		This is accomplished by having a target tug aircraft fly at 450-500 kilometers an hour, towing, on the end of a 500 meter cable, a 40x8 foot banner (that is about the same size as a small aircraft.) Fighters come by and try to put holes in the banner.
		Each target tug usually flies two sorties a day, giving 4-5 fighters an opportunity to take a shot at the banner during each sortie.
		The most popular way to keep track of who hit what is to have each aircraft have its ammo painted a different color so that, when the target tug lands, its easy to count how many hits each fighter got.

	USN Ships--USS Kalmia (AT-23)
		She was assigned to icebreaking and towing duty in the St. Lawrence River during late 1919 and the first five months of 1920, then went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was her base for the next fourteen years.
		She operated in New England waters until October 1944, then briefly served as a target tug in Chesapeake Bay.
		The tug went back to the West Coast early in 1945 and was employed on towing and target support work into 1946.

	1/72 Airfix Canberra TT18 Target Tug by Stuart Porteous (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		This is the Airfix Canberra B(I)6, converted to a TT18 target tug.
		As far as the conversion is concerned this is a nice easy one - it consists of swapping the Airfix nose transparency for the correctly shaped Aeroclub one, and painting yellow and fl stripes on the underside.
		Paints are all Humbrol, and decals are from the Modeldecal range, slightly modified to depict a 100 Sqn aircraft based at RAF Wyton in the 1970s.

	CA 1/48 Fairey Battle Target Tug
		The Battle's final European combat mission was on 15-16 Oct. 40, a night bombing raid on German invasion barges in the French ports of Calais and Bologne.
		It is easy to underestimate the value of target tugs, but during WWII such aircraft were essential to effective air gunnery training.
		It was an impressive model but a lot of work for a target tug.

	Introducing Camp Davis: Camp Davis Air Base
		Two tow target squadrons and a Base Squadron are situated here at Camp Davis on the trim airfield which is located centrally in the installation.
		It might be pointed out that a "squadron" in the Air Corps is the corresponding unit to a battery in the artillery or a company in the infantry.
		They tow various types of targets on cables at which the different calibres of antiaircraft artillery guns hammer away all through every duty day — six days a week.

	Martin AT-23/TB-26 Marauder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		At the time, the Air Force had no target tugs that could operate at altitudes above 10,000 feet, and since ballistics are quite different at high altitudes, it was felt that a high altitude target tug was necessary.
		To fit this need, 208 B-26Bs were modified as target tugs and general utility aicraft and were redesignated AT-23A.
		Those aircraft intended for target towing were equipped with a C-5 tow target windlass.

	Those Were the Days #03 - William Tell '84
		Each target had to be 'killed' by an IR and Radar missile therefore one interceptor could 'kill' both targets if necessary.
		Targets used ECM and chaff to evade and a typical target force comprised of 3 F-111's, 2 B-52's, 2 T-33's (for ECM) and 2 F-106's (simulating cruise missiles and ECM aircraft).
		Each team aircraft was equipped with 3 simulated missiles and 12 targets (some targets did multiple passes through exercise area to provide the 12 targets) were to be engaged, therefore to obtain maximum points all shots had to be on target.

		The Martinet was the first aircraft that had been designed from the outset as a Target Tug, to enter Royal Air Force service.
		Prior to this, all target tugs had been obsolete type planes.
		Either a wind driven or motorised winch was installed, carrying six flag and sleeve drogue targets.

	The Sukhoi Su-25 "Frogfoot"
		Stories that it had a laser target designation capability seemed arguable, since it wasn't a turreted system as a Western laser target designator would be, and the cockpit lacked a display and hand controller needed for controlling a turret-mounted designator.
		The pod could be mounted backwards to provide covering fire as the Su-25 left the target area, discouraging the Mujahedin habit of popping up out of hiding and firing on the aircraft from the rear.
		The Shkval system is essentially the same as that used on the Kamov Ka-50 "Hokum" helicopter gunship, and allows the Su-25T to carry and direct advanced laser-guided weapons, such as the "9M120 Vikhr" anti-tank missile, known as the "AT-12 Swinger" in the West.

	Boulton Paul Defiant TT.Mk.I / III Target Tug Review by Brett Green (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		This variant was not fitted with the adjustable rear deck or the turret, so you will not have to deal with the complications associated with that aspect of construction with the earlier kits.
		The creation of a Target Tug Defiant is no minor tweak compared to the fighter variant.
		Who knows, perhaps there is a gigantic unseen community of Target Tug fanatics who have been clamouring for this kit for years.

		The OV-10B was manufactured for West Germany as a target-tug aircraft and is, with the exception of the OV-10D, the most radically different version of the OV-10 when compared to the basic A model.
		The towed target was reeled out from the under-fuselage pod.
		This nice picture of an OV-10B flown by the West Germans for target towing came from the Virtual Aircraft Museum at http://www18.pair.com/tvam/img/cd0255/050.gif

		After France, the Battle was quickly relegated to second-line duties such as target towing and training, in which it performed much better.

		Battle target tugs served in the RAF and RAAF as well as with the RCAF.

	B-26 Marauder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		After the disastrous elimination of an entire Bomber Group (the 322nd Bomber Group in a raid over Ijmuiden in Holland), the regrouped B-26 Marauder would be used in a more medium-level pattern bombing approach instead of traditional high-level pattern or low-level pattern attacks.
		The B-26 would go on to see several other models including the F, G and target tug-gunnery trainer drones.
		The US Navy would utilize the B-26 as the JM-1, while the USAAF converted nearly 60 to TB-26G's to be used as pilot/crew trainers.

		Stories that it had a laser target designation capability seemed arguable, as it wasn't a turreted system as a Western laser target designator would be, and the cockpit lacked a display and hand controller needed for controlling a turret-mounted designator.
		The pilot locked the designator onto a target through his gunsight, and the Klen-PS then used inputs from the aircraft's flight control avionics to stay locked on target.
		The pod could be mounted backwards to provide covering fire as the Su-25 left the target area, discouraging the Mujahedin habit of popping up out of hiding and fire on the aircraft from the rear.

	USS Choctaw
		After overhaul at Norfolk, Choctaw sailed for tug duty at St. John's and Argentia, Newfoundland, between 20 November 1944 and 8 December, when she sailed to rendezvous with Huron (PF-19).
		She took the collision damaged ship in tow for Bermuda and Charleston, and returned to Newfoundland for service between 3 January 1946 and 14 March.
		She then operated off the east coast and in the Caribbean on salvage duty and in towing targets until 16 October 1946, when she arrived at Orange, Tex. There she was placed in commission in reserve 1 February 1947, and out of commission in reserve 11 March 1947.

		It was the last piston engine attack aircraft flown by the RAF, but was never a target tug.
		The Beaufighter soldiered on as a target tug until May 1960 in the Far East Air Force at RAF Seletar; however, 151 Sqn's last Lincolns didn't leave RAF service until May 1963.
		Delivered to Coastal Command initially as a torpedo fighter in June 1946, but then withdrawn and rebuilt as a bomber (a sort of reverse Tornado programme?) and delivered in December 1948 as the B Mk 1.
