over the adversary. Although the missile greatly altered tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), logistics, and even support organizations, it did not seek to alter the fighter pilot culture and was therefore readily embraced by the pilots and the USAF. Unmanned aircraft provide a striking example of the opposite effect. As discussed above, the character of aerial combat had changed dramatically since its inception, but because culture remained constant, pilots across the time…

At this point, I believed all the museum exhibits centered mostly on the World War eras. Each land vehicle presented a short information sheet describing their significance. For example, the Jeeps served as the inexpensive yet highly reliable transportation for the military at the time. The Dodge Scout Car were the top of the line off-roaders during the WWII era. Although they were originally manufactured for American usage, German soldiers captured some of these vehicles in a couple of treks in…

Before the arrival of the airplane, warfare was conducted almost entirely by a country's infantry and navy. Up to this time in history, aerial warfare had played no significant role in military strategy. Balloons had been used for observation and propaganda distribution during the Napoleonic wars and the Franco-Prussian conflict of 1870-1871 (Balloons in the Military). The airplane had also been used in a limited role for bombardment missions during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912 (Wilkin).…

Roles of an airline pilot are somewhat stimulating which can be accomplished successfully if the pilot is well skilled in all phases. The main role is positively to fly the aircraft securely from the departure airport to the target. Other than the air route there are other concerns as well that the Pilot has to take care…

The Decline of General Aviation Airports The Rise of General Aviation In the early days of aviation, aviators were limited to flying during daylight hours, in near ideal weather conditions. Early pilots were not regulated as they are today, and would take off and land their aircraft in any flat open area, often a farmer’s grassy field, which allowed them to choose their direction relative to the prevailing winds. As aviation grew, pilots began to congregate in common areas, which allowed for…
