Amazing shots of some amazing machinery.
I was flicking through the images and thought what can he finish with?
It didn't disappoint.

Cracking shots! The jet in picture 7 looks like a combination of F16 & F18.

A very nice selection. Though must admit a special appreciation for the F-5s.

p.s. Do they still have Tigereyes?

Very tasty, are the F-5s being painted in retro schemes for an upcoming event? I like how they've toned the roundel down on the Tracker, only to stick an enormous shark mouth on it! :clap:
