F-22 Raptor Show Pass 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Check out this amazing high-speed show pass by the F-22 Raptor.

This amazing photo was taken by a long-time visitor to our site named Mike Brennan. Mike is currently a senior at the University of Maryland and will be commissioning in May 2009 as a 2LT, Field Artillery, US Army.

Mike gave me permission to enhance it slightly, so I've performed the standard magic tricks.

If you like the widescreen wallpaper, leave a comment and say thanks to Mike!

F-16 EA-6B And B-52 Formation Flight 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Great formation wallpaper of a pair of F-16s, an EA-6B, and a B-52 Bomber. I so wish I was flying one of those F-16s.

I'm still working on that book I mentioned. I think it's going to be pretty cool.

CV-22 Osprey Over the Gulf of Mexico 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Sweet shot of a CV-22 Osprey hugging the coast along the Gulf of Mexico. With all the troubles this tilt-rotor aircraft had, it's amazing it ever made it into full-time service.

I've seen a few static displays, but I've yet to see this baby fly. Maybe I'll catch it at an airshow this year. Anyone else seen one fly?

Earth As Seen From The Moon 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here is a breathtaking photo of the Earth from the moon. This shot was taken by one of the Apollo 8 astronauts back in 1968.

If you've ever wondered what the Earth would look like if you were on moon, here's your answer.

It's both amazing and humbling at the same time. It also makes a great widescreen desktop background.

Great clean shot of the F-22 Raptor.

Raptor pilot quote of the day:

Every pilot will like the engines. They produce a lot of thrust, even in military power. I was in military power the first time I went through Mach 1. In burner, the airplane reached Mach 1.2 real fast. It has very good acceleration better than anything I've seen. Though I wasn't plastered against the seat, I experienced the nice acceleration that comes from getting faster really quick. The movement of the airspeed indicator is most impressive. The Mach number clicks up real fast even above Mach 1.0. In the F-15, pilots have to hit afterburner and stay there to go supersonic.
