The F-290 Pitviper is a near future upgrade of the Grumman X-29 forward swept wing concept. The DSN felt that not only should we have excellent high performance fighter aircraft... but they should look cool too.
The aircraft features two seats for a pilot and RIO, working landing gear and gear doors, underwing fuel tanks, and four movable control surfaces: canards, and aft deck up/down flap/spoilers.
The front few studs of the nose shape was copied pretty closely from a beautiful build by Ralph Savelsberg.

This build and perhaps more to come on this account are for the game Decisive Action 4 on Flickr. Come on over and check it out!
A US Navy E/A18G Growler flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.

A trio of VFA-81 Super Hornets, recently stopped through McGhee-Tyson Airport for fuel. The jets had a nice collection of mission marks from their previous deployment.
This is a shot of the Swiss Air Force F/A-18C that was displayed at the Royal International Air Tattoo 2022. I like that I managed to capture the landing gear being retracted and the level of detail on the aircraft.

I normally gravitate towards sunny weather but sometimes I just love the mood in shots like these, capturing the moody, glum atmosphere of the weather. I can almost taste the air.

The Swiss Air Force F/A-18 Hornet displaying at the Scottish International Airshow 2018 in Ayr, Scotland.
No apology if you get a Top Gun earworm from my title, I couldn't resist. I just loved the combination of the clouds starting to break, the heat haze, afterburners lit up, the vapour condensing on the wings and that slightest hint of distant sunlight reflecting on the fuselage.
With 10 years of flight experience in the Hornet, Captain Nicolas "Vincent" Rossier delivered an incredible display in challenging conditions. Captured handheld with my Canon 5D Mk III, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens and EF 2x Extender III. If I had been more awake when I set off in the morning I might have remembered to take my monopod. Enjoy!

Gave the image another go, but in Black & White to complete the Cold War feel. Back in the 80s, Mn ANG stood alert in Germany, so this scene would be similar.

Shot with a rental 180-400mm f/4 Nikkor on my trusty D850. Love the Nikkor/Nikons!
