Have you tried searching for the name of the VHS/DVD it was on, and checking ebay/amazon for a copy? Just a thought.

Did some searching, may be from “Extreme Machines”, perhaps? Amazon shows some VHSs from the late 90s/early 2000s, but not much on detail. Let me look for it when I get home, maybe I can snag a copy on the cheap here in the USA. I can’t access Ebay here at work.

you watch discovery channel too much Mr.. in Mumbai can u tell where is the river :diablo:

it is in ur mind what you want to see if you want to see dirt find it that :dev2:

I see waterways that could be considered rivers, even if not called that. The pedantry of this board gets worse by the day.

It seems to me that there are longer serving presidents who actually won an election, who have not had an aircraft carrier named after them. Is this reserved solely for Republicans?

You mean like the USS JFK?:rolleyes:

Personally, I think we need to go back to naming them after battles or other names, like America/Ranger/etc. I’m sick of elected pols of either party getting carriers named after them, esp living ones.

I have always been partial to the Grumman F9F-6/7/8 series… the swept-wing Cougar.

I know it was not quite as good as the Fury-4, but it was always well-liked by the USN pilots, as the F9F-6 actually had better carrier handling characteristics than the straight-winged F9F-5 Panther.

The Cougar was extremely popular with its crews, who admired it for its ease of piloting, its superb carrier handling capabilities, and its robust construction.

Admittedly, it was a “designed for Korea” fighter that entered service in late 1952 (and left in 1959, except the trainers and reserve units), but it always was (and still is) one of my favorites.

Now if they had built the proposed F9F-8N night fighter (the two-seat F9F-8T trainer with the AN/APS-50 radar installed), then I would have a contender.

I thought I had read in one of my older books that the Cougar trainers has seen some service in Vietnam? CAS/COIN work, I thought, but I have never seen any other reference to it.

And didn’t the Douglas F3D/F-10 Skynight see service in both Korea and Vietnam? :diablo:

I have the Arco-Aircam Aviation Series -No. 16 on the Republic F/RF-84F Thunderstreak/Thunderflash, and it has a bunch of B&W pics of both, but few show any weapons.

] as those were taken by my brother-in-law

Wilco, presuming you’re truthful.
Shrug.

Thanks. He is still in the Marines (A Major), and those were done/taken during GW1, so with all that is currently going on, does not want people to assume they are recent pics, esp the way some folks wish to portray our servicemen.

Thanks again!
