Naturally, the USAF’s F-16 Viper Demo Team was going to make full use of the pyrotechnics display during the Vietnam combat search and rescue (CSAR) demo for their own photo shoot! Though the F-16’s official name is the Fighting Falcon, pilots and crews call the sleek jet the “Viper”. The name Fighting Falcon came from the USAF Academy’s mascot. Before the official name was selected, the early cadre of F-16 pilots at the jet’s first base, Hill AFB in Utah, had come up with some ideas, one of which was Viper, but the competitor to the F-16 in the Lightweight Fighter competition, the Northrop YF-17, was called the Cobra. That early group of F-16 pilots settled on the Viper name and at the time, the original Battlestar Galactica series was on TV and the space fighters on the Galactica were called Vipers. While the Fighting Falcon name made sense with the F-16 seen as a complement to the larger F-15 Eagle, the Viper nickname stuck. The Viper Demo Team is based at Shaw AFB in South Carolina and the pilot in my photo is the 2017-2018 demo pilot, Captain John “Rain” Waters. #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #AllianceAirport #FWAAS2017 #AllianceAirShow2017 #airport #planespotting #instagramaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #LockheedMartin #Lockheed #F16 #FightingFalcon #Viper #ViperDemoTeam #instagramaviation #igaviationcontest #Avgeekery #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #mil_aviation_originals #USAF #AirCombatCommand (at Fort Worth Alliance Airport)

This week has been amazing. I nearly forgot about the cool stuff Colonel Dengler received for me from Langley. I wrote a motorcycle safety article for ACC’s Combat Edge magazine some time ago. The article was published in the Spring 2019 edition. #usaf #motorcyclesafety #combatedge #aircombatcommand #coolstorybro https://www.instagram.com/p/Byv5jz2lDxD/?igshid=18o4umwkpbpi3

Current look of Fighter Group’s flagship fighter. Tail art no longer there but the insignias of sub-units and detachments of the Group are still displayed proudly by the cockpit. 👍👍💪💪🇸🇬🇸🇬 #TheRSAF #AboveAll #OneSAF #MilitaryAviation #MilitaryEnthusiast #aviationphotography #instagramaviation #aviation4u #excellentaviation #PlaneSpotters #instagood #MilitaryGeek #F15SG #Mudhen #Boeing #StrikeEagle #AirCombatCommand #PoisedandDeadly #FighterGroup #RSAFFighter50 #DecisiveandDeadly #Nikon #NikonD500 #Nikonsg #Singapore #PlanesPatchesPeople (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXnTufvPwBs/?utm_medium=tumblr

A Lockheed F-22A Raptor basks in the ramp flood lights before sunrise at Fort Worth Alliance Air Show. One of the more challenging tasks facing model builders doing the F-22 is replicating its unusual metallic sheen camouflage. It’s much more complex than just the grays used on the majority of the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon fleet. The F-22’s unique camouflage isn’t just to reduce its visual signature, it also reduces it’s infrared signature. To understand how the Raptor’s camouflage works, in our atmosphere, CO2 gas and water vapor absorb the majority of infrared wavelengths, but there are two “windows” in the IR band where an aircraft can be detected. The first window is at 2-5 micron wavelength or Mid-IR. This is the infrared wavelength used by heat-seeking missiles like the AIM-9 Sidewinder. An aircraft’s engines and engine exhaust are the main sources of energy in the Mid-IR window. The second window that exists in our atmosphere is the 8-15 micron wavelength or Long-IR. This is the wavelength used by aircraft-mounted infrared search and track (IRST) and Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensors, something that has become more important since low-radar signature aircraft are becoming more common. On an aircraft, the main source of energy in the Long-IR window are solar heating and friction heating of the aircraft skin along with the engine exhausts. In the F-22, the flattened thrust vectoring nozzles help diffuse the exhaust plume and cool it quickly and the arrangement of the vertical fins and tailplanes help mask the actual engine exhaust. The Raptor’s unique paint scheme, however, helps attenuate the effects of airframe skin heat in the Long-IR wavelengths. #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #AllianceAirport #FWAAS2017 #AllianceAirShow2017 #airport #planespotting #Lockheed #F22 #Raptor #USAF #AirCombatCommand #instagramaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #Avgeekery #mil_aviation_originals #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge (at Fort Worth Alliance Airport)

The C-130 Hercules primarily performs the tactical portion of the airlift mission. The aircraft is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for airdropping troops and equipment into hostile areas. The C-130 operates throughout the U.S. Air Force, serving with Air Mobility Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Combat Command, U.S. Air Forces in Europe, Pacific Air Forces, Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve Command, fulfilling a wide range of operational missions in both peace and war situations. Basic and specialized versions of the aircraft airframe perform a diverse number of roles, including airlift support, Antarctic ice resupply, aeromedical missions, weather reconnaissance, aerial spray missions, firefighting duties for the U.S. Forest Service and natural disaster relief missions.
