F-18E Super Hornet Tomcatters 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I like this Tomcatters paint scheme on the F-18E Super Hornet. Nice.

T-45 Goshawk Carrier Landing 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Nice shot of the T-45 Goshawk trainer doing a carrier landing. Hard to imagine how much training is needed to be able to successfully complete these landings.

The F-35 JSF is the next front-line fighter for the Air Force, Navy, and Marines. Check it out.

F-16XL and SR-71 Formation Flight 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's another formation photo for the history books. You have a NASA SR-71 and F-16XL in close formation flight. They were using the XL to fly within 200 feet of SR-71 to gather test data on supersonic shock waves.

Two beautiful airplanes.

P.S. Congrats to the poll viewers that picked David Cook to win American Idol.

F-16XL Cranked Arrow Delta Wing 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Ever seen this beauty before? It's the F-16XL and was used by NASA to test the cranked arrow delta wing design. This would have made a great F-16 tactical bomber with nearly double the wing area.

FYI, the quality on some of these old photos is marginal. I fix them up as best as possible, but your mileage may vary. Enjoy it anyways!

F-14A Tomcat Cockpit 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

It's the next best thing to sitting in one, here's a shot of the F-14A Tomcat cockpit. Take a look around and you'll find the wing sweep indicator, engine tapes, AOA indicator, and many other interesting gauges.

C-17 Globemaster III Head-on 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Love this shot. Perspective can change everything. Here is a massive C-17 Globemaster III and the crew chief in front giving directions. Enjoy!

C-17 Globemaster Massive Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Talk about a formation flight, here's a massive formation flight of C-17s. From what I read, there was an exercise where 20 C-17s flew sorties to show their airlift capabilities. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Friday Video: Blue Angel High Speed Low Pass

Check this out. Here's a few shots of Blue Angel solo pilots doing high-speed low passes in San Francisco bay. Absolutely awesome.

B-2 Stealth Bomber 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Less than 20 of these beauties left in the world. Here's a nice shot of the B-2 parked on the flightline. I probably say this every time I post, but I used to build these aircraft. Nothing like them in the world.

Enjoy!

F18E Super Hornet Carrier Takeoff

Here's the Super Hornet preparing for a carrier takeoff. The steam from the catapult adds a dramatic touch to the shot.

F/A-18C Hornet Variations 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I had some fun with an F/A-18C Hornet today and decided to post three versions of the widescreen wallpaper for you to pick the one you like the best.

I always appreciate your comments, so please let me know what you think.

F-16 Falcon Power Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a great F-16 Falcon takeoff widescreen wallpaper. I love the heat distortion from the afterburner. Awesome fighter jet!

Edit: I updated this wallpaper per request. I agree the runway markers detracted from the picture. Hopefully this is better.
