Aircraft

Description

The aircraft pictured within this page were shot over many locations around the world, from air shows to airports.  Airplanes and flight have always fascinated me, especially the military variety, having served in the USAF as an Air Traffic Controller. My favorite plane you ask??? The Phantom F-4. Enjoy.

The waving pilots give a good perspective as to the size of the F-4. It can actually carry a heavier bomb load than the venerable B-17 bomber of WWII fame.
