The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired through trades or purchases.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.

43rd Fighter Squadron "Hornets"
Tyndall AFB
The 43d Fighter Squadron (43 FS) is part of the 325th Fighter Wing at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. It conducts air dominance training for the F-22 Raptor.
The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It is primarily an air superiority fighter, but has multiple capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles.
The United States Air Force considers the F-22 a critical component of the US strike force, and claims that the F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief of the Australian Defence Force, said in 2004 that the "F-22 will be the most outstanding fighter plane ever built."
Faced with a protracted and costly development period, the aircraft was variously designated F-22 and F/A-22 during the three years before formally entering US Air Force service in December 2005, as the F-22A. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the prime contractor and is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems and final assembly of the F-22. Program partner Boeing Integrated Defense Systems provides the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and all of the pilot and maintenance training systems.

This aircraft made a forced landing on the Greenland ice sheet in 1941 while being flown to Britain and was subsequently buried in snow and ice. 50years later the battered remains were recovered from 268ft of overlying ice and snow. The aircraft was restored and flew again in 2002.

Arriving for Airsho 1988 at Harlingen, Tx 6th October 1988 with no squadron markings applied at all.
The thing I like about the Starfighter is that it is perhaps the Western fighter closest to the MiG-21, which is one of my favorite planes. The Starfighter has a slightly better climb rate and holds more records, but represent the ultimate performance in a relatively affordable package, which is what made both of them popular for export customers.
