I like this format better, it loads the page quicker, and if you want to see it full sized you just click on the image and it goes full size.

Again thanks for the new batch great pics...

parachute thing not so great. I cannot believe the AF is that anal over 100-120lbs worth of chutes.

You and me both. I used to like the piece of mind that came with at least having the chutes on board should you have that fluke bad day... but now not so much

Its ok though... the jet I fly in is only 50 years old

Those are some awesome shots. Guessing you fly in a HC-130. Would love to see a AC-130 in action.

Anyways, thanks for sharing the pics. It's crazy to think the F-16 is over 30 years old, and those tomcats even older.

Do you now feel like the bottom turret gunner on the old B17?

I think they where not allowed to fit with the parachute... or maybe i just remember a bad movie.

If you remembered it from Memphis Belle, then you remembered it from a great movie.

Ha ha. If they are concerned with weight savings tell the fat air force guys to go on a diet!!

I fly in a KC-135R... Done some AR (air refueling) with 130s and AC-130s though.

A lot of the Air Force inventory is pretty old, but the maintenence is pretty incredible compared to what civilian airliners get...

that f-16 picture is really clear. You can see the HUD and the pilot's eyes.

This might be childish to ask. Have you seen the movie Stealth? You know those refulling Zeppelin type of ships. Do we actually have those?

I have seen it. We don't have that... yet. I can foresee something like that being made in the future (maybe not a zeppelin, some sort of large autonomous aircraft) for all the UAVs that are coming online. Even the art of air refueling is becoming more digital, I can already see that becoming completely autonomous too in the future.

Wow what an amazing job. Gotta be scary the first time those pilots flew a b-2 spirit bomber! $1billion+ Certainaly is a hefty price if something went wrong! That pic of the shadows off in the clouds is amazing! Cool stuff Thanks for sharing these!

Best is to set up a youtube account. Load your video up to there. Then you can use the "youtube" button on these threads to post on here.
