Friday Video: F-16 Airshow Routine HUD perspective

Ever wonder what it's like to fly an airshow routine in an F-16C Falcon? Watch this video and be amazed. :)

Flying with CH-53 Sea Stallions 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a great shot of CH-53s taken from the back of a C-130. It looks like the guys are anchored by cargo straps! That would be blast.

AV-8B Harrier Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Nice shot here of an AV-8B Harrier taking off. I used to see them when a squadron would deploy to Nellis (they don't like hot weather...). It was fun watching them get loaded with weapons since the weapons troops loaded bombs by hand!

The Navy P-8 MMA (Modified Boeing 737-800) Cockpit 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Showing that I take feedback seriously, one of the first responders to the survey wanted to see more cockpit photos, so here ya go!

This is from the P-8 MMA aircraft. The aircraft itself is pretty amazing and I love the cockpit. This will make a great widescreen background.

EA-6B Prowler 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

The EA-6B Prowler is a modified and upgraded A-6. It carries an impressive array of electronic warfare systems and serves the Navy as a fleet defense and escort.

I can't say this aircraft is "sexy" like the F-16, but it gets the job done.

An A-10 With A Flare For The Dramatic 1680 x 1050 Widescren Wallpaper

Excellent shot of an A-10 pulling a high-g turn and popping flares. For those of you that don't know, flares are used as a counter-measure against infrared seeking missiles.

Made it home safely from San Francisco. I flew a Continental 737-300 model to Houston and then a 757-200 to Tampa, Florida. The 757 was partially loaded and we took off like a fighter jet from Houston. Best airliner takeoff to date.

F/A-22 Raptor Refueling 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Amazing shot of an F-22 Raptor being refueled. I love the pilot and the HUD. Excellent!

My stay in San Francisco is over and I'll be flying home tomorrow.
