Why do Navy Planes Have Tailhooks?
Unbelievably, people don't realize that after a tough day of flying on and off of an aircraft carrier the planes are always washed, and then they use the hooks to hang the planes over the side to drip dry.
news from the games forum...

Ever want to fly an F-18 from a flat top? This is probably the closest thing you can get to that feeling.

I have seen a great deal of dioramas that depict such scenes as aircraft being repaired or maintained or just simply parked on the ramp being prepped for a mission. There has also been dioramas that show a glimpse of carrier Ops.
But I'm curious, has anyone done a diorama of an aircraft...
I recently purchased the Academy 1/72 P-47D (Razorback) kit, want to build a diorama depicting when P-47s were ferried to the Marianas on escort carriers. The 318th group P-47s launched off the Manila Bay because of Japanese aircraft in the area.
Has anyone scratch built an aircraft carrier...
