C-17 Globemaster Massive Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Talk about a formation flight, here's a massive formation flight of C-17s. From what I read, there was an exercise where 20 C-17s flew sorties to show their airlift capabilities. Pretty cool if you ask me.

B-2 Stealth Bomber 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Less than 20 of these beauties left in the world. Here's a nice shot of the B-2 parked on the flightline. I probably say this every time I post, but I used to build these aircraft. Nothing like them in the world.

Enjoy!

Here's the Super Hornet preparing for a carrier takeoff. The steam from the catapult adds a dramatic touch to the shot.

I always appreciate your comments, so please let me know what you think.

F-16 Falcon Power Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a great F-16 Falcon takeoff widescreen wallpaper. I love the heat distortion from the afterburner. Awesome fighter jet!

Edit: I updated this wallpaper per request. I agree the runway markers detracted from the picture. Hopefully this is better.

A-10 at Sunset 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a artistic two-ship A-10 formation in the desert.

I started with a rather dreary original photo and cropped it. I then adjusted levels and slightly desaturated the photo. I then applied an orange filter and adjusted the hue. Once I was happy with the color I boosted the color saturation. To finish, I applied lens flare and lighting effects.

I've got this one on my widescreen desktop and love it.
