Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
Good for the Chinese! let them have fun with their new toy. BUT one carrier without planes does not a navy make. It didn’t do the Nazis any good—they too had a carrier with no planes and it sits on the bottom of the Baltic. Lets see what they do with it.
Sure, like to article says, “China sent its first aircraft carrier to sea...,” but it’s going to be many years just to get the ship beyond sea trials. Then there’s all that time-consuming training to do...that’s one. A bigger fleet is just around the corner, a long way away.
