Stratospheric top-up! A Spanish EF-18A moving into position behind a KC-135R during a ferry flight. With 83 F/A-18s in "active" service, Spain is one of the largest operators of legacy Hornets in the world 🐝

Lightning down low! An F-35A Demo Team, 388th FW, making a low, fast pass. Gorgeous as always!

It's a little tiring, but at #Boeing, history keeps repeating itself. 🤣 FAA investigating Delta Boeing 737s for cabin pressure issues.

🎵 At the car wash. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...🎵 Indonesian AF F-16s, in their wicked camouflage, undergoing a scrub.

"F" stands for Fighter, but you know what makes a fighter a fighter? A Sidewinder missile, of course! Here's an F-111F sporting a pearly white AIM-9 AAM. I don't think an F-111 ever fired one in anger, though.

Before the F-15 and the F-4, there was the F-86 Sabre, a true pioneer of jet-powered aerial combat. Did you know that F-86s are credited with over 800 kills? The Sabre remains West's most successful jet fighter, surpassing all others in terms of air combat triumphs.

The photograph that made me fall in love with the Harrier GR.3. Built around the more powerful Pegasus Mk.103 engine, the long-nosed GR.3 featured a host of improvements, incl a laser tracker and integrated ECM over the GR.1. The type played a big role during the Falklands War.

A fantastic view of a "Luke Falcon" over the interstate. The USAF operates a fleet of 841 F-16s, making it the most numerous fighter type in its inventory.

East meets West. A UkAF MiG-29 equipped with a pair of French-made AASM Hammer stand-off weapons. The highly agile and modular AASM has a range of 70 km and can be used for both close air support and deep strike missions.

A stealthy Harrier GR.3 from RAF's No.4 Sqn., hidden under camouflage nets in Germany. The versatile little jump jet was a formidable CAS asset for NATO. Btw that's exactly how I would look standing in front of a GR.3.

"The Last of the Mohicans" is a great book/movie 👌 On a separate note, here's a fantastic view of a Hellenic AF F-4E during a recent visit to Athens.

Did you know that each F-117 pilot earned a unique “Bandit” number? There were 557 operational F-117 pilots. They started with “Bandit 150”, Maj Al Whitley, and ended with “Bandit 708”, the then Brig Gen David Goldfein. I'm not entirely sure how the math worked, btw.
