Great material. It takes a strong military to have the kind of freedoms we enjoy here in America. Wish it weren't so, but it is.

Outstanding link, Jungle. Loved the one of the Blues in echelon right but 4 looks a bit sucked.

What's special about the F-35s? Just 'cause there are three airborne at the same time?

Seconded.

The F-22 shot was amazing, as was the near miss of the soldier.

Great list! Thanks for posting. I'd like to have seen the 130 go under the swords.

Notice on the BB broadside how far the ship is driven to port (right in the photo). Looks like about half the beam, so maybe 50 feet!

Holy crap!

The C-17 pilot getting doused with water is an old student of mine!

(And the picture of four Vance T-38s buzzing the football game resulted in two guys losing their wings).

And yes, the only thing amazing about the F-35s is that it represents half a Billion dollars in formation.

Sorry for the ignorance, but how did it end up just 2?

Nothing. That was a photo of some corn, the airplanes happened to get in the way.

If you're on deck when a modern combatant fires it's main gun, you'll lose your hearing. The concussion from those 16" units would kill you outright.
