Very nice pics. Always great to see another lifestyle.

I'm confused though. What's the difference between Vipers and Falcons?

Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.

Nothing like the C5. Well maybe the B52 . I like big, fat, or long heavies. Thanks for bringing these shots to us!

no difference, it's just that the guys flying the F-16 don't call them "Falcons" they call it the Viper

Nice set there, #13 works really well. With a bit of jiggery-pokery it could look like something out of Star Wars!

Awesome airplanes. Nice shots too.
Every time there is one at an airshow I attend, I get in line to walk through it.
