Romanian Airforce's F-16 MLU M5.2R "1601" performs a high-G turn, while having the afterburner engaged and the speedbrakes deployed. Notice the large amount of vortices condensing moisture out of the air, generated by the strakes running from the wing root to the cockpit as a measure of the number of Gs being pulled by the pilot. Shot taken during the official training session for the Bucharest International Air Show 2017.

The sub-freezing temperatures and blistering arctic winds are no match for our PRC-155 Manpack Radio – Tested & Proven!
General Dynamics C4 Systems-developed AN/PRC-155 two-channel Manpack radios successfully completed secure voice and data calls from Alaska and the Arctic Circle, using the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) waveform to connect with the MUOS satellite and ground communications network.
A visit to Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona is a must for all aircraft enthusiasts as this is the home of AMARC (Aircraft Maintenance And Regeneration Center). The aircraft re-cycling division of the USA forces. The great aircraft boneyard in the Arizona desert holds around 4400 airframes with a book value of $23.6BN . Large numbers of KC-135, Lockheed Orion, C-130 Hercules and F-16 Fighting Falcons are currently stored here (2020); but there are plenty of more interesting aircraft too. In some cases, like the Delta Dart and Canberra, just one example is in store. There is currently a major programme to convert redundant F16C Fighting Falcons into Drone aircraft. Boeing has a contract to convert several hundred at a cost of $21M each - only for them to be shot down by modern weapons packages as part of F22 Lightning II training for pilots.

History of the F-111E "Aardvark"
The F-111E was a long-range, all-weather strike aircraft, first manufactured in 1967. They were used during the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm bombing raids, and in the Gulf War for strategic bombing, ground attack, and electronic warfare missions. These aircraft were credited with destroying roughly 1,500 tanks and armored vehicles.
The F-111E "Aardvark" at Hill Air Force Base
In 1965, the Ogden Air Materiel Area was assigned the specialized repair of the F-111A aircraft equipment-including struts, wheels, and brakes. Over the years, Hill Air Force Base also maintained, supported, and oversaw several F-111 aircrew training systems and simulators. The F-111E on display was manufactured in 1969, and it served on several bases within the United States and at the Royal Air Force Base in Upper Heyford, England, in 1971. In 1994, this aircraft moved to the Hill Aerospace Museum for display.
Interesting Fact
The F-111E set a record for the longest low-level supersonic flight (172 miles at less than 1,000 feet altitude) on November 9th, 1966. It was also the first tactical aircraft to cross the Atlantic from the United States to Europe without refueling in May 1967.

Coming down low over the runway in a high-alpha approach for a simulated landing run, Romanian Air Force's F-16B MLU M5.2R "1610" exhibits its "dirty" configuration: landing gear down, flaps, slats and speed brakes deployed with the turbofan engine brought up to military power in order to sustain the flight on the edge of stall. Notice that the instructor pilot uses a GoPro camera in order to tape the run. Shot taken during the official training session for the Bucharest international Air Show 2017.
