There's a couple pictures in there that I really like, but that picture just shows some of the lines of the F-16 so well and the big bubble canopy.  It just kinda stands out from the rest for me.  Not my favourite teen fighter, but I think it is the prettiest.

That B52 leading the formation pic over the USN - more military power than most other countries in that picture.  4 Aegis Cruisers, 6 Aegis DDG, 2 CVNs - great picture.

A bomber designed in the 1950s being escorted by fighters designed in the late 60s/early 70s?  Who was your squadron commander, Orville Wright? Lol

They dont even call the chow Hall the "Chow Hall" anymore. The commands all have different names as do many of the MOS's. The uniforms are different, equipment far better. Theres far less people, far more woman, stealth, drones, hyper accurate weaponry, GPS...need I go on? Even the platforms still left over from the '70s have advanced systems that make the early model avionics look like museum pieces. Airplanes are designed to last 30+ years but modern avionics packages and weapons have really turned them into different airplanes then they were.

We didnt even think The Cold War would ever end in out lifetimes. Back then we had 10,000+ strategic weapons on hair trigger and so did the Red's.
