Fly along with the power CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Check out the toy car and air freshener! Go figure? Pilot on the right is checking the flight chart. Great stuff.

KC-10 and F-18 Refueling 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Shot somewhere lonely over Afghanistan, here's an F-18 refueling with a KC-10 Extender. Hats off to you guys stationed over there. The worst I saw in the USAF was being stuck at Wendover, Utah (we used to call it "Bendover"). Ahh, the good ole days.

Friday Video: Belgian Air Force F-16 Demo Aviation Nation Las Vegas 2008

I couldn't make it out to Las Vegas in time for this year's Aviation Nation air show at Nellis, but some videos are the next best thing. This year Nellis hosted the Belgium F-16 Demo team and these guys put on an amazing demo. Enjoy!



Not to be outdone, check out the Royal Netherlands Air Force Demo team as well!

The Hog 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

One of the most distinctive faces in military aviation. The A-10 Insurgent Killer stands alone as one of the most loved and hated aircraft in the world.

B-1B Full Afterburner Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

There's nothing more powerful than a B-1B full afterburner takeoff. This baby is one of the loudest aircraft you'll ever hear. Simply awesome.

When I was stationed at Nellis AFB, there was only one aircraft that ever woke me up -- the B-1B. You get used to the F-16s and F-15s flying early morning ops, but when a B-1B would takeoff, it was thunderous and shook the entire dorm building. Loved it.
