[edit] There are a host of 'naval aviators' listed in Wikipedia

"A Naval Aviator is a pilot in the United States Navy..."

Other nations have naval aviators too... ;-)

Many of these naval aviators are not (or were not) members of the United States military. This article should either be expanded to cover the generic reality or the title should be modified to reflect the narrow specificity of its subject.Markm62 19:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Just because other navies have pilots doesn't mean they actually call them "Naval Aviators". This appears to be a USN-specific term, at least in origin, and one which USN "pilots" are very proud to use. Unless someone can provide specific reliable published sources showing that other navies officially call their pilots by this term, I'd recommend moving this page back to plain Naval Aviator. - BillCJ (talk) 05:58, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Navy C-130?

Does anyone have any info to back up the US Navy's C-130 Hercules program? --ProdigySportsman 23:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Try Data on Aircraft in the Current Naval Aviation Inventory on the USN site.

[edit] no section for the Osprey

There is no seciton for the tilt rotor MV-22 Osprey. It is currently being used by the Marine Corps and also will be in the Navy and Air Force's inventory. --ProdigySportsman 23:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
