Yes they have, and rather effectively too I might add. Thanks for noticing! But did you ever stop to consider that if some idiot hadn’t decided to go on some foolish and asinine moral crusade and use airliners to knock over buildings, your precious terrorists might not be being hunted down by the US military right now?

[INDENT]Doesn’t the Peruvian AF has a wide range of platforms for the relatively small size of that country. [/INDENT]

Odd, where is your moralizing in the thread on the Su-22 crash? Funny how you pick and choose your moral observations, depending on what country the ‘weapons of war… used for claiming lives & destroying property’ crash in…….. :rolleyes:

Just looked up the Alaska class heavy cruisers with a Google search….very nice looking ships!! Almost smaller copies of the Iowas, minus one stack, but very similar, and heavily armed (12″ inch guns)…they would’ve done pretty well vs. a similar axis ship, I imagine…

Yes, great looking ships. Just to late to get into much beside shore bombardment.

What about the Salem CA with her automatic 8″ turrets vs. the Bismarck?

I’ve always wondered about the Alaska/Guam vs the Gneisenau/Scharnhorst.

I have always loved the Alaskas, for some reason. Perhaps cause it was as close as we got to having battle cruisers in the US Navy.

The Cavour, the second italian Aircraft Carrier started its trials yesterday

Do you have any info/pics?

The Army helo pilots is a surprise! The Navy/Marine ones isn’t. I never thought of rotary craft pilots being recruit for the airlines. Is it as common as fix wing pilots? I talking about pilots for jetliners.

He flew with a bunch of them in Electras, 727s and L1011s, but as I said, this was back in the 70s and 80s (he retired from Eastern in 1988). He figured the sounds of bullets whizzing past their ears kind of honed their talent, along with the tree top flying. 😀
