Outstanding work. Amazing detail. I love that you captured the shock diamonds in the afterburner. This is an F-16A Viper Block 15. It is armed with 2 AIM-120C AMRAAMs, 1 AIM-9L Sidewinder and 1 GBU-12 Paveway II laser guided bomb....with a LANTIRN pod. LANTIRN stands for: Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night. I was a weapons loader in the U.S. Navy. I was attached to an F/A-18C squadron. I have also worked on various other Navy/Marine Corps aircraft. -
Beautiful capture of this Rafale. Great detail all over...even on the ejection seat. It is a very noisy jet. I was just at an air show and watched an F-22 Raptor perform, and I think the F-22 has the Rafale beat...as far as noise...LOL. I was in the U.S. Navy and worked on F/A-18 Hornets, and being on an aircraft carrier, I was in VERY close proximity to jets at full power. -
