Hi all,
I've been lurking around pprune for the best part of four months, reading the Mil forum and trying to learn something.
It looks like it paid off, as I'm going to Dartmouth in June as an Aircrew candidate, so I'd just like to say thanks to you all for the informative discussion. :-)
Thanks especially to those who take an interest in naval aviation, and have posted here. You'll be pleased to know i read the whole of the sea jet thread!!

ps... I've also got a question that's been bothering me.
On V-G aircraft (for example the Tornado), do the pylons rotate?
I don't understand how underwing missiles for example can keep pointing into the airstream when you go from swept to straight wing.....
