Awesome shots.  Are the originals you have big enough and of high enough quality for large desktop wallpapers?

Still think the F-16 is the only good-looking jet.

Might have something to do with watching the 174th TFW fly them out of Syracuse for so long...  :aok

I think the F-22 looks better than the 16s. However an aviation enthusiast can always appreciate such wonderful pictures.

Thanks for sharing.

They are.  I have them on my puter.  PM your e-mail and I will get them to you.

They did take part in some aggressor games.

Has anyone else ever noticed the similarities between the F16 and the P51?  Just wondered...

The F-16 has got to be the sexiest modern Western jet... though the F15 doesn't come in far behind.
Especially the one pictured with the Russian-looking blue camouflage.

I can see what you mean with the air intake, but I've never really liked the Pony that much aesthetically. The Viper on the other hand...

Actually these F-16s are not Air National Guard, they are active duty F-16s with the 354th Fighter Wing 18th Agressor Squadron stationed at Eielson AFB, Alaska. I would know because I'm stationed here. They are here for the purpose of Red Flag-Alaska. Now, the KC-135s are Alaska Air National Guard 168th Air Refueling Wing.
