F-16A Cockpit 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Over the weekend I flew with my wife to Ohio. Besides doing fun things like visiting King's Island theme park, eating great food in Cincinnati, and overall having a blast, we made a stop on Sunday at the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH.

I brought my camera thinking I would get a million photos. What I needed to bring was a tripod since the aircraft are in darkly lit hangers! Oh well....

I was able to take a few decent shots like this photo of an F-16A Falcon cockpit.

The Air Force museum was incredible and a worthy rival to NAS Pensacola's Naval museum. Not only do you get to see an amazing variety of aircraft, you will also see historically famous aircraft. The Cold War display alone featured the B-2, B-1, F-117, EF-111, F-111, A-10, Tornado, F-16, F-4, F-15, Mig-29, and more.

If you love aviation, this museum is a must-see. Next time I'll remember to bring a tripod.

Here's NATO's version of the AWACS in formation with F-16s from Edwards Air Force Base. I saw this aircraft when I was at the 2003 Edwards air show. It's quite an aircraft.

Thunderbirds over Las Vegas Motor Speedway (NASCAR) 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

If you've been to the Vegas Motor Speedway, you know it's next door to Nellis AFB (the home of the Thunderbirds). Here's a great shot of the Tbirds flying over the speedway before the start of the event. The mountain in the background is called Sunrise Mountain.

Enjoy!

F-16A Fighting Falcons 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

This shot brings back memories. I used to work on F-16A models from the same year (tails 79-XXX). These were block 10 aircraft and were a far cry from today's Block 50/52's. The F-16 has had an amazing evolution.
