Catching the Strobe

Always a win when you successfully snap the collision lights flashing.

 

The Green Goblin.

Shot through a NVG tube, with an OLD point and shoot digi camera, it still presents a unique look from years ago.

Sneaky Eagle

Reaching back to 2007, over Afghanistan, this thirsty F-15E approaches from behind the boom. It made for a unique perspective, so I kept it as is.

Sunliners In East Tennessee

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.

ACES 31

Former IDFAF Viper, taxies back to it's parking stand at Luke AFB. Assigned serial number 78-0326, this Block 10 F-16A was originally ordered by Iran. But as we know that history, it wasn't to be. Instead it was sold to Israel and became a staple in the modernization of their Air Force.

Bringing 'em Home

Redeployment of some F-15Es after an overseas deployment. Little did we realize we'd be part of something much larger, a few days later.

A Close Eye

An RSAF F-16D, escorts the pilot of this F-16C when his oxygen system failed during a flight.

Last of the Legacies - VFA-204 retired its F/A-18C/Ds in 2022, becoming VFC-204 as it adopted the F-5N, ending the Navy’s use of the Legacy Hornet in fleet service and bringing an end to the strategic reserve mission component. The Legacy Hornet was legendary for its time as the Navy’s first electric jet with fly by wire systems and digital glass cockpit which by today’s standards looks antiquated. But in the hands of an experienced adversary pilot, it was still lethal to its larger fleet cousins, the Super Hornet.

It’s alive! This shot shows the cockpit of a Draken International Spanish Mirage F1M with power on. The image was taken with a Nikon Z7 & Nikkor 14-24mm using the FTZ adaptor. The more I play with this system the more I love it.
