100 Years of Naval Aviation May 8th 1911-2011

The DC3 was 75 this year so 2011 is Naval Aviation´s 100th!! great for thinking on some adventure flights and Missions...thank you for the remainder:salute:.....those 1930s Boeings sure were nice....How about someone making a "Grumman FF-1 biplane", this I think was the last biplane the Navy flew.......we sure need something like that!!!!..:applause:

Ok, this thread got me thinking, and I was sitting around bored tonight, so I got to messing around. These are not to take away from the real reason behind this thread or what the navy is doing with their celebration. I just wanted to see what the Razbam Corsair would look like in WW2 colors.

Not bad, but I think she looks better in her normal paint schemes.

navychief, I commend you on startng what could be a tribute to Naval Aviation. To think it only started 17 years befor I was born
I hope they pay some attention to the old recip props types and not dominate it wth egg beaters and oil burners.
 
Navychief8,

Thanks for starting this thread! I've been busy with Christmas-related activities the past few days, or would have chimed in sooner.

So there will be a 100 year Naval Aviation celebration airshow at Pax River, eh? My first duty station in the early 70s. I will have to do my best to attend that one!

Go NAVAIR!!!

Naval air Means MARINE AIR too

I served on Three carriers.(Forrestal, Satatoga,America).and 16 months in country Vietnam 72-73 (Da Nang, Phu Bai, and Chu Lai) and without Naval air meaning U.S. MARINE AIR the world would certainly be a very different place. I always tip a cold one with a silent salute to Joe Foss, Gen.Timothy Axtel and Gen.Marion Miller all highly decorated pilots from the U.S. Marine Corps Air wings. Uhhhhhh-Rah....The last two fellows I served under and yep they were IMHO extremely fine examples of America's finest. So here is a salute to those of Naval Air, that chaperoned us MARINES all over the place so we could get the job done.

Semper FI

However I must admit I totally screwed up the names of those Marine Aviators I mentioned. I should have let well enough alone and just have given the last names....as in FOSS,AXTEL,MILLER and the worse mess up Gen. Marion Carl.....good grief old age can make us look like total boobs sometimes....(but that's a thread more for Cloud nine gal). I sheepishly post that I an Airwing Marine messed up the names of those men I hold in the highest regards....Still SEMPER FI and carry on....
Thanks to those that knew I messed up but did not point it out.

Ol'Jarhead:wavey:
 
Congratulations to all. 100 years of the best.

Here is my humble tribute: the first Spanish carrier, the Dédalo. She was the first carrier used in an aeronaval operation, the disembarkment of Alhucemas, 1926.
