B-1B Aerial Refueling 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper


Nice shot of the B-1B bomber refueling. If you love planes, being a boom operator must be the best job in the world.

The CH-46 Sea Knight 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper


The CH-46 Sea Knight has been the backbone of Marine aviation since the 1960's. It's affectionately called "the Phrog" and there's a little over100 of them serving still today.

AH-64A Apache Attack Helicopter 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Great artistic shot here of a US Army AH-64A Apache helicopter. Definitely my favorite U.S. chopper. Anyone remember playing Jane's Apache Longbow? The good ole days.

Enjoy!

UAE F-16E Afterburner Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I love the F-16E. Can't believe we don't have a bunch of these in the USAF. This beautiful aircraft flies under the banner of the United Arab Emirates. Practically no drag penalty either for those over-wing conformal tanks. Bad to the bone.

F-18C Hornet Carrier Pass 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Great shot here for an F/A-18C Hornet doing a low pass over a carrier. I'd love to spend a day on a carrier getting great pics like these!

F-15E Strike Eagle Artistic 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Nice shot here of an F-15E Strike Eagle. Always amazing when engineers turn a purebred A/A fighter into an A/G bomber. Just before I left Nellis, I worked on F-15E's. Sweet plane.

Enjoy!

Weathered and Dirty F-16C 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a rare shot of a weathered and thoroughly sandy/dusty F-16C. It's obvious that the wartime turn ratios and priorities don't include a peace-time wash cycle. Still, it's not even close to some of the Navy aircraft I've seen. Check out the leaks down the sides and in the back.
