USN T-45 Goosehawk Trainer 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Nice shot of the Naval trainer T-45 on approach to a carrier. Interesting that they paint it orange and white (similar to the test aircraft in the USAF). Bet it's a fun plane to fly.

Minor work with saturation, contrast, and sharpening.

HH-60 Pavehawk 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Call this "chopper with a flare..."

Here's an action shot with a USAF special ops chopper popping a flare. Cool looking helo.

This shot required some processing work as the color scheme was slightly off. I think it turned out well.

F-15D Aggressor 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

I don't know what it is, but I love the aggressor paint scheme. This shot makes a great widescreen background. Enjoy!

A-10 Thunderbolt II Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

This plane was born to kill tanks. If you've ever seen a 30mm round, it's about 18 inches long and packs a high explosive punch.

Here's a great two-ship formation shot. Enjoy!

F-14D Tomcat 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

You voted the F-14 (along with the F/A-22 Raptor) as your favorite aircraft. I remember seeing the F-14 as a kid at the Pt. Mugu naval airshow.

The airbase was near the ocean and the F-14 would get the biggest condensation blooms when flying just under the speed of sound. They would get so big the aircraft would disappear in them. There was nothing like this plane. Enjoy.

Blue Angel F/A-18C 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Great shot of Blue Angel #5 upside down in home town of Pensacola, Florida.

Another reason I love this shot is that I got married on this same beach just a few miles down.

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

Love this shot. Here's an F-18C just about to land on the carrier. The ocean colors add a nice contrast.
