I wish you all the best holiday season.

USAF and South Korean Air Force F-16 Formation Flight

Given the recent conflict between North Korea and South Korea, I figured it was a good time to show our solidarity with our South Korean Allies.

Here's a great shot of USAF and South Korean Air Force F-16C and D models flying in formation over Kunsan Air Base.

Giv'em hell boys!

F-15C Eagle Full Afterburner Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

The premiere air superiority fighter through the 80's and 90's, the F-15C Eagle.

I've seen a few full-AB takeoffs and this jet can get off the ground in a hurry. It was also known for having one the best radars in it's day. Of course with the F/A-22 out in the field, the F-15 has to take second seat. :)

F-15C Eagle Afterburner Artistic 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Nice shot of an F-15C Eagle in full afterburner. I've added a few artistic touches to the shot to give it a different feel. Enjoy!

MIG-35 Fulcrum F 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

A loyal friend of Free Widescreen Wallpapers (Marko) sent me a great photo of a MIG-35 Fulcrum F. Designed by Mikoyan, this is a follow-on, 4th generation fighter version of the MIG-29.

Lots of improvements in this baby: glass cockpit, new engines, AESA radar. Overall, it's a sweet looking fighter.

F/A-18F Super Hornet VFA-32 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Sweet shot of an F/A-18F Super Hornet with the VFA-32. The US Navy has some pretty slick color schemes, but it's still not a Tomcat.

F/A-18E Super Hornet Carrier Launch 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I really like the perspective of this shot of an F-18E Super Hornet. It just gives you the impression the aircraft is about to fall off the edge. Pretty amazing.

F-15 and F-22 In Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Great shot here of the F-15C Eagle and the F/A-22 Raptor over Nellis AFB. It's also a great side-by-side comparison of the differences between the two aircraft.

F-22 --> Larger wing area, internal weapons storage, thrust vectoring, stealth shape and materials, upgraded avionics, etc.

B-1B Lancer Two-Ship 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Not something you see every day. Here's a two-ship formation of B-1B bombers popping flares somewhere in New Mexico. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

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

Here's an F/A-18C Hornet flying somewhere in Afghanistan. You don't see many green bodies of water so it makes a great backdrop.

F-16E Fighting Falcon Head On 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Amazing widescreen desktop wallpaper of an F-16E Falcon. She's quite a beauty to behold. Why can't we buy a few of these babies for the USAF?

Here's a three-ship formation that no adversary wants to see coming. The awesome F/A-22 Raptor! :)

These guys play at altitudes and speeds unthinkable for other fighters.

Enjoy!

A-10C Thunderbolt II Attack Aircraft In Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a great formation photo of two A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft in formation.

These aircraft perform the CAS role and I've found a good video to show you what a day in the life of an A-10 pilot is like.

Enjoy and next time you see an A-10 pilot, tell them "Thanks!"

F-4E Phantom 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Today I'm pulling another shot from my personal archive. Here's a second shot of the F-4E Phantom I took at the Nellis AFB airshow back in 2007. It's a real shame the rear seat was empty. What a waste!

USAF B-1B Bomber Head-on 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

The B-1B is definitely my all-time favorite bomber. Yeah, it's not sexy in terms of stealth, but it's part of the power era. If you've heard one of these bad boys in full-AB, you know what I'm talking about.

Ride Along With An HH-60 Pave Hawk 1680x1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Ok, admit it. How many here would like to be that guy riding along in an HH-60 Pave Hawk? That's one sweet "choppa"

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

Here's an F/A-18C Hornet, tail-hook down, and just about to trap on a carrier. Nice perspective with the deck crew looking on.

F-16E Falcon 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Seriously, how sweet is this jet? The F-16E is an amazingly capable fighter and is tricked out with all the latest hardware and software. Love it.

F-22 Raptors In Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Nothing like the F/A-22 Raptor. I'm still in denial that they canceled the program. Here's a three-ship formation of them. Enjoy!

I never get tired of seeing this beautiful aircraft. The B-1B is definitely my favorite of the USAF Bombers.

F-16 Aggressor F-16C Red Flag 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a great afterburner shot of an F-16 Aggressor jet fighter taking-off at Nellis AFB during Red Flag.

I was just out in Vegas again this last week and parked my car out near Nellis to watch the jets. That's one of my favorite parts of visiting out there.

Enjoy!

F-15E Strike Eagle High Speed Pass 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper
