Need to know (list) all the Aircrafts that can land on a Aircraft carrier (Kitty Hawk). All I know is: F14, F18, A-V8 Harrier, and the A-6E Intruder which is no longer in service. Also, need know even all the helis that can land on a kitty Hawk.

Hmm....uh, brain fart..;) I think there's possibly Sea Cobras ( same as Cobra choppers, but grey..and other stuff..;), I know there's an airplane model with a rotating dish on top, but don't know the nomenclature..;) There's been all sorts of things landing on those. Someone's probably been in the Navy around here (all those hours watching the Military Channel musta gone in one ear and out the other..;) Harriers, but they're Marine. Might even be some F4 'Wild Weasles' (they may be Air Force instead..I just remember 'feet wet' and 'feet dry'..;) but I could be showing enough ignorance for 1 night..;)

There's a helicopter that looks like a Chinook, called a "Sea Knight".   I think that the Sea Knight is still in use, although it's pretty archaic by now.   The Chinook and the Sea Knight are both from Boeing and they are distinctive for their front and rear rotors.   (I know that the Chinooks are still in use on this side of The Pond, because they frequently fly right over my house;  I don't claim perfect pitch, or anything like it, but I can definitely tell a Chinook, unseen, from an Apache, Lynx, or Gazelle).   How, exactly, the Sea Knight relates to the Chinook (e.g. is it just the naval version?) I don't know.

Both of them are highly distinctive (I'd say "instantly recognisable", except that I couldn't tell a Sea Knight from a Chinook, or vice versa) and extremely evocative and so I think the Sea Knight belongs on your aircraft-carrier.

Quote - Now, that I have a Aircraft Carrier for poser. Took alot to convert from 3DS, then to texture.

The A4 Skyhawk, F4 Phantom, A6 Intruder,  A7 Corsair, RA-5 Vigilante, E-2 Hawkeye
are some of the Vietnam era aircraft used on carriers.  They also used the Sikorsky
H-3 Seaking helicopter.

A short list of U.S. carrier aircraft from the Vietnam War era. I might have missed some.

CH-46 Sea Knight, used by the Marines (troop transport) and the Navy (VERTREP), smaller than the CH-47 Chinook)
SH-3 Sea King
EA-6 Prowler
F-4 Phantom
F-8 Crusader
A-1 Skyraider
A-4 SkyHawk
A-3 Skywarrior
A-5 Vigilante
A-6 Intruder
A-7 Corsair II
S-2 Tracker/E-1 Tracer/C-1 Trader

Although I was not a carrier sailor but I am familiar with some of the aircraft (cause I've been on  few of them..wink). Okay...

Helos
CH-46 - SeaKnight  these are the double rotor ones sometimes refered to as a shithook 46..LOL! These tote and deploy the marines and equipment as well as SEAL teams. These work off LHA/LHD amphibious assault ships.

H-3H SeaKing -  these were the work horse of the fleet from 1961 to the mid 1990s and were used from ASW to air sea rescue.

M-53E Sea Dragon - also known as the Sea Stallion. The USAF call them super jolly or jolly green giant. These carry out anti mine counter measures and other stuff also found on LHA/LHD.

SH-2 Seasprite - anti-submarine and anti-surface warefare (ASW and ASUW), anti-ship missile defense (ASMD) and anti-ship surveillance and targeting (ASST).

SH-60 Seahawk - It is used for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, drug interdiction, anti-ship warfare, cargo lift, and special operations. They are based aboard cruisers, destroyers and frigates.

AH-1W Super cobra -  the USMC operate these from LHA/LHD or known as amphibious assault ships.

Fixed wing

E-2C Hawkeye - airborne surveillance and command-and-control platform. This is the one
with the spinning radar dish on top.

EA-6B Prowler - electronic warfare aircraft

F-14 A/B/D  Tomcat - Long range fighter but can also carry laser guided bombs.

F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet - Fighter/bomber

S-3 Viking - Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW),Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), surface surveillance and intelligence collection, electronic warfare, mine warfare, coordinated search and rescue, and fleet support missions, including air wing tanking

C-2A Greyhound -  carries people and cargo from land to carriers.

AV-8B Harrier II - USMC flown from LHA/LHD Amphibious assault ships

This was some of the inventory when I was serving.

C-2A Greyhound
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/22/C-2_Greyhound.jpg

Possibly the IAI (Israel Aircraft Industries) Kafir.  Several were purchased from Israel for training purposes, as they could do good imitations of the Mig.  They're  a hybrid aircraft combining the Dessault Mirage body  with the F4 j-9 engine.  The Mirage body was considerably lengthened to accomodate the engine with a new air intake added to thetail assembly.  In a later version, whisker stabilisers were added to the nose  assembly.

Kfir fighters with no armament were delivered to the US Navy and Marine Corps with the designation F-21A for use as 'aggressor' aircraft in dissimilar air combat training.

This texture is for F-21A Kfir the 'aggressor'.

A C-130 Hercules is also capable of landing on, and taking off under its own power from a Nimitz class carrier.

It was done once on the USS Forrestal, but deemed too risky for normal use.

And out of Sealtm2's list, the SH-60 Seahawk, E-2C Hawkeye, F-14 Tomcat, EA-6B Prowler, F/A-18 Hornet, C-2A Geyhound, and S-3 Viking were the only aircraft regularly stationed on the ship I was on, the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). So I imagine for most modern carriers, those would be the most common aircraft found on deck.

Never saw any of those while I was in all I saw were F-18's with kooky paint jobs that made them resemble a mig at a distance. HS-5 was the squadron I think. There at NAS-Oceana.  I was in VFA-106 and VFA-136 while I was there.  The thought of an F-15 on a carrier just made me cringe for some reason lol but others  mentioned it before I got  here so I wont scream about it hehe.

  I only  went out on 2 carriers  the JFK  (Operation Enduring Freedom) and a workup on the Washington before i got out. Got to say that I hated parts about  the cruise but now that I think of it it really was not that bad :P

from what i understand the F-14 Tomcat is scheduled to retire this year. replaced by the F/A 18 Super Hornet and the S-3 Viking is being phased out and its duties are being taken up by the MH-60 and SH-60 (variations of the uh-60 Blackhawk helicopter)

Thanks guys. I have a BlackHawk, Apache, F18. I wil be seaching fo some of those listed to use in poser with my Aircraft Carrier.

It is called Kfir. See this link.

"Kafir" is Arabic for "unbeliever".

That is true, for Arabic.  Hebrew and Arabic, being sister semitic languages  have many parallel words.  Kafir in Arabic, is  very similar to the Hebrew  'Kofer', which also means one who defies the Law of the Torah.
But Kafir  in Hebrew, accent  on second sylable, means  Young Lion,  or  Lion Cub.  I actually worked for a time on the assembly line of this plane, but that was many, many years ago.
