Introduce Yourself

Hello just interested in military aircraft. As a general question, why am I unclassified while other new members are restricted?
 
Hello everyone,

I am Gavin from the UK, this is one of the best best places I have ever encountered, I found this forum a few days ago and joined as it has everything that I am interested in, which I thought was excellent until I found the 'Furry Avatars' thread, so have become a bit side tracked being a lover of all things cat! Thanks for having me
 
Hi, my name is Ariel but I go by Zuk mostly.

I'm former IDF serviceman, served in the Military Intelligence Directorate's technological unit (81) for 3 years. Yes this I'm allowed to reveal.
My practical work there was mostly RF-related, but the nature of service (as well as long service with really talkative officers), especially of my department, exposed me quite well to the world of modern military intelligence.
No I will not be exposing state secrets, I actually respect OPSEC, and also the compartmentalization is excellent there (compared to IDF standards).

I got interested in the world of defense through video games when I was young. My first area of interest was tanks because really what kid doesn't find that cool? Then I became a defense-homeless, not attached to any specific area too much, trying to keep a broad scope on things - technical, geopolitical, and all in between.
 
Hello all,

I came across this forum while performing a Google search regarding the F-22. I retired from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) last year.

It's good to find another resource like this forum to keep up with topics of interest, for a while I was starting to think TWZ was the only thing to read!

Sincerely,
-J
 
Hello, I have been on here for about 2 years, but I never once commented, as of now I am 16, I have curated and compiled content from on here. I do not know the technicalities of aviation, I would consider myself more of a newbie, who might be considered a surface-level enthusiast. My interested started from WWII aviation but then expanded into the Cold War and modern day. That is all there is to say quite frankly.

Soy el propietario y primer moderador de este sitio. Mi nombre es Paul Martell-Mead, tengo 32 años y vivo en Londres, Inglaterra. Trabajo en TI, pero estoy muy interesado en la tecnología de la aviación militar y he acumulado una gran base de datos de conocimientos sobre este tema. Publico como "overscan" o "aerospacetech" en varios foros de aviación.

Recientemente me casé en Nueva Zelanda y planeo mudarme allí eventualmente con mi esposa neozelandesa, Vanessa.

The WWI and Interwars period are not widely discussed in the forum, but Hesham and I have information in our archives.

Hi, my name is Brian Begnaud, 61 years old, engineer, South Louisiana. Hobby is radio control airplanes, love to scratch build, and design my own. Specifically oddball stuff, and there is plenty inspiration here. I made an A-51 Stallion, Flying Fortress (no, not a B-17, but a fort that flies, with a recording of French solders yelling insults from the Holy Grail on loud speaker), and even a flying Nautilus from Disney's 20,000 Leagues. So many things I want to make reality!
 
Good day dear Forum,
My name is Filip/Phillip, however suit You. I'm a 35 year old aircraft enthusiast from Poland. Had a chace to serve and being on the theater. Now although I'm from Warsaw (which is not even close to the sea), I'm more focused on naval aircraft so everything from Flying boats/Floatplanes via MPA and ASW planes to Carrier borne planes (especially those not purely combal (AEW, COD). Fingers cross I'm not gonna be kicked out from here soon :) Cheers, All!
 
Hi, Elfreda here! I'm currently pursuing a PhD in biomedical engineering in the UK, but my real passion lies in physics and its applications in engineering. Always seeking and creating radical designs with little to no regard for anything outside of physics. This site is fantastic because it’s one of the few places where speculations are embraced, and no one keeps questioning, "What's the point of this?"

Practicality is overrated. Whatever existed is conservative.
 
Hello,

My name is Ian and I am from the UK. I am a retired commercial pilot, interested in all things aviation, especially vintage aircraft and aviation history. I joined this forum in the hope of finding information on the DH105 trainer aircraft project. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much available.

we did have a topic about it, but nothing much was uncovered. @Hood wrote a book on Postwar Trainers but not sure if he uncovered anything.

 
Hello everyone,
My name is Oliver R. I am a 40-year-old chemical and materials engineer. After retiring from the military, I became a consultant at a private company. I have always been passionate about military aviation, especially jets, aerospace, and related materials. I enjoy visiting forums like this one because they allow me to learn more about my favorite topics. I am excited to join this community for discussions and to share information with each other.
 
Bonjour je suis Jacques M.
Ancien marin à la retraite depuis 2006, je dessine de très nombreux profils de navires militaires ou civils, d'aéronefs, de trains et de véhicules de pompiers, avec parfois des vues en coupe intégrale.
Voir ici : https://forum.air-defense.net/topic/39435-dessins-vectoriels-les-hydravions-et-leurs-bases/
ou encore là : https://forummarine.forumactif.com/t8493-avions-de-l-aeronavale-et-autres
Je suis admiratif des hydravions Latécoère qui ont été parmi les plus beaux, j'ai une demande pour le Laté 302 en coupe de dessus et de profil, mais aussi le Short Sunderland Mk V, j'espère de quoi trouver mon bonheur ici !

"Hello, I am Jacques M.
A retired sailor since 2006, I draw numerous profiles of military or civilian ships, aircraft, trains and fire engines, sometimes with full-section views.

or here: https://forummarine.forumactif.com/t8493-avions-de-l-aeronavale-et-autre
I admire the Latécoère seaplanes which were among the most beautiful, I have a request for the Laté 302 in top and profile section, but also the Short Sunderland Mk V, I hope I will find what I am looking for here!" (Machine translated)
