COOL, This thread got me looking for a good pic of the plane I worked on when I was in the service.

I never thought I would concider spending well over a $100 for a MODEL kit, but these guys are coming out with a OV 10-a Bronco kit. SWEEET

This is my favorite F-22 pic - in formation with the F-15's they'll be replacing, all based at Tyndall AFB, flying over the jetties at St. Andrews Park in Panama City Florida, <10 mi NW of Tyndall. The F-22 training is done there.
There's your wallpaper. :)

Edit: Course if Kerry is elected prez, who knows if the F-22 replacing F-15 thing would continue. And that F-22 would sit and collect dust.

I always thought the C-130 had a cool flare release.

Looks like someone has a hardon for Navy planes;)

Well it is a Navy site. :D

I have too, its a family thing. My wife's brother is an F-18 pilot....Naval Aviator as we say around here.....so there is little to no deviation from the "Navy Rules" mentality at hour house.

I even got to fly the F-18 simulator at Lemoore NAS a couple of years ago. I course I sucked. All you see is a pinpoint of light, they say slow down you are coming on the target too fast. Next thing you know the little blip of light gets huge and then goes whizzing by the right side of the plane and you have officially overshot your target. Happens damn fast.
