[edit] Questions:

What is the reason for the ordering within the categories: Chronological?

Also, why is the C-130 considered special instead of transport?--Rogerd 02:59, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

C-130
The KC-130 variant, is a refuel tanker. (Born2flie 21:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Mission vs. Modified Mission

According to the Joint Services designations (since 1962), aircraft are classified by Mission and then Modified Mission. Attack Helicopters are a subset of Helicopters, not Attack aircraft. (Born2flie 21:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Photo

As this page also seems to double as a template, placing a photo at the top of the page causes it to appear elsewhere. The following image was appearing on what looked like every US military aircraft's page, and it seemed rather out of place for aircraft not in the picture. As two of the aircraft are non-US (the F/A-18 is a US design, but its an Australian aircraft in the photo) it seems to be doubly out of place. --Nick Dowling 03:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shouldn't the Bomber section be a sub-section of Combat?

Shouldn't the Bomber section be a sub-section of Combat?

I'd go along with that. Unless we have a "fire-fighting" bomber section! BTW, I changed all your NBSP BR tags with the more elegant BR CLEAR=ALL, which is more effective if all you want is a new section to clear hte right-aligned image box. Hope that helps. — David Spalding Talk/Contribs 19:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
