    B-52 & Navaho

    Last few days I've been tearing my hair out looking for a collection of images I *know* I saw some time ago: art and diagrams depicting various aircraft including the B-52 carrying the Navaho missile. If this sounds at all familiar to anyone, please let me know. Here's an image from another...

    A-29 Super Tucano

    I saw recently that the USAF is purchasing Super Tucano light attack aircraft. The designation is the A-29. Is this part of the official Air Force Designation? The last A aircraft I see is the A-24, according to the NMUSAF. What is the A-25 - A-28? Wes W.

    B-70 RCS Reduction Studies

Plans called for 10-20 degrees of dihedral to be added to the wings, vertical tail-surfaces to be canted inward 10-20 degrees, as well as the addition of slanted...
