do you know how to have larger pictures in here like all these guys that have DIYs and stuff? the pics look WAY better when they are bigger. I have videos too... but they are too big for this site

Chupacabra

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.

Is that air force one???

Edit: I am thinking no, I looked at google pics. Air force one has an ALL blue front... Coule be wrong


I cannot stop looking at these pics!

Pretty observant! Close... Google E-4.

Question: How, or what do you have to do, if you need to eject?

Actually my jet doesn't have an ejection method. We used to be able to bail out (which is jumping out with a parachute instead of being ejected via rocket boosted seat) but the Air Force has recently become EXTREMELY anal with weight savings for better fuel conservation (SEE lighter is better... the AF says so!) to the point where they decided to remove the parachutes . So bailing out is no longer and option. If something happens, I'm boned. I'd need to hope for good *** pilots to pull a Sully into the Hudson.

And I am Canadian! lol

Wow, beautiful pics. The F16 is sill one of the best looking planes. Love the F22, but the F16 has my heart. Even sexier than the 370z I must say

Volcom370Z

they are sexy on different levels... have you seen a raptor flying yet? at an airshow or anything? want to talk about the epitome of sexy?!

the performance and technology of that jet are incredible

I'm actually going to apply to the unit in AK within the next year. I either want to fly raptors or HH-60s
