AC-130 Spectre Gunship 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

The AC-130 Spectre evokes an array of emotions. This variant of the lowly C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft first saw service in Vietnam and has participated in conflicts ever since.

The USAF has one in the National Air Force Museum and I got a picture of the nose art.

Demonstration teams always perform heart-stopping maneuvers like the one in this Thunderbird wallpaper.

F-16B and F-16C Ready For Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Today's high res widescreen wallpaper is a pair of F-16s from the 162nd Fighter Wing (Air National Guard) based in Tuscon, Arizona.

The two-seater is a rare F-16B (you don't see many A or B models anymore).

I've visited Tuscon once before while on a trip to Phoenix. They filmed a lot of old western movies in the surrounding desert area (famous for the Saguaro Cactus) but overall, there ain't much there....
