F18C Hornet Over Afghanistan 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Up close and personal here with the F/A-18C Hornet on an air-to-ground mission over Afghanistan. Excellent shot.

When I see a great shot like this, I get inspired to do more photography.

C-17 Short-Field Landing 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Being a pilot myself, I can certainly appreciate the skill needed to do short-field landings. If you throw an unimproved landing strip into the mix, that's quite a task for both plane and pilot.

The C-17 was designed with this type of landing in mind, but it's still amazing to behold.

F-16C Up Close and Personal -- 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Great shot here of the F-16C Fighting Falcon. Nothing like this fighter jet in the world. Hard to imagine that one day the USAF will be all F-35s and these beautiful planes will be history.

I've done a little more enhancement/artistic stuff with this shot so I'm putting it in the artistic category.

C-130 Pilot at Sunrise 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I suppose it doesn't get much better than to be flying early morning and catching a beautiful sunrise. The only way to improve upon it is to be in an F-16... But hey, somebody has to fly cargo. :)

Planet Earth From Space -- 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here is absolutely stunning Planet Earth wallpaper. The original was taken from the NASA archive from the most recent Space Shuttle mission to fix the Hubble.

The original was great, but with some Photoshop work, I think it went from great to stunning. I've got it on my desktop and just stare at it mesmerized.

Be sure and pass the link on to your friends.
