Not as badass as previous posts, but you gotta show some love for big fred.

I got lucky enough to have my first flight down at the FTU photographed in the pattern

Fred turns into a wind tunnel with the doors off and the pilots can't see with the doors open.

you guys are flying doors on?

That's actually the 920th out of Bastion, but we've never been doors off. Although I've been told that's finally going to change with the next trip over there.

Haha, that series of posts just took me 5 minutes of rereading to understand WTF you guys were talking about...well-played.

That is one hell of a picture, and is now my desktop background. Thanks Porkchop

My favorite A-10 pic. Sorry, not air-air.

You have the pics of Red Sox and Patriot jets the tanker guys took? Those are pretty good, if you're a Sox/Pats fan.

This guy "mitchell.alaska" on Flickr has some of the absolute best aviation photography I've seen. Of course, I may just be partial since he's AK ANG and as a result they're mostly CSAR- https://www.flickr.co...s/25702253@N04/

Unfortunately he recently set most of his images to private or something, so the majority don't show up. Somehow using search I was able to turn up a few shots, but they're no longer the super high-res versions. That being said, if you have the time be sure to go through all of them- https://www.flickr.co...%40N04&ss=2&z=m

Here's some of his air to air pics-

Dude, where do you find all of this stuff? You always find the best photos. Great shots

Posted

Awesome, thanks. Those pictures make me want to come back...I would do anything to fly rescue again. What a great mission.

It's got nothing on NEFlyer's pics above, but here's some decent Herk porn if your into that kind of thing:

Doesn't really show off the really cool stuff the Herk can do, but there are some really nice shots flying around NorCal, up the Pacific Coast Highway and over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Edit: You can also click on some links to some other, less cool, AMC jets doing the same thing.
