Friday Video: Harrier Low Pass

I don't know what it is, but I love watching low pass fighter jet fly-bys. This one is particularly funny because the guy they put up says "I won't flinch"

Watch and see if he flinches...

F-16C In Revetment 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a shot of the F-16 in a revetment, loaded and ready to fly.

Enjoy!

B-52 Bomber Cockpit 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a rare photo of the B-52 bomber cockpit. In case you didn't know, this bomber has eight engines and that means eight sets of engine dials and throttles.

What's amazing is that this old-timer is still flying.

A-10s In Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

At times I really enjoy a subdued color on my widescreen monitor. I used that effect with four A-10s flying in close formation. I think it turned out great. What do you think?

F22 Raptor with F15 Aggressors 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Hey all, it's great to be back. The trip to London and Paris was excellent and I recommend you visit these great cities at least once in your life.

Also, a BIG thanks to Pieter who helped out during the week. He did a great job and the wallpapers posted are excellent. Great job Pieter!

Today's wallpaper is a formation flight consisting of the F-22 and F-15 Aggressors. I doubt there's much of a fight there but the F-22 gets good target practice.

EA-6B Prowler 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Hello, Here's one of my favourites. It's designed for electronical warfare. There's place for four people in the Prowler (one pilot and three electronic countermeasures officers). It's a real radar jammer!

Formation Flight

Here's a nice formation picture. I see EA-6B, F/A-18F and E2-C (correct me if I'm wrong). In the background you can see Mount Fuji in Japan.
