Great more space junk going up... just as some comes down.

Is a cool pic... I still like the F-15 Eagle, course I'm also a fan of the B-52 BUFF.

For anyone going to the Florida regional:
A shuttle is scheduled to launch that Wednesday/ Thursday at 1AM. We are going to try to see it.

JSF's official designation is the F-35 Lightning II. (The original Lightning name went to the WWII-era P-38.) The Raptor (pictured) is the F-22.

Seems a little extreme, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

An amazing picture.

In terms of modern jet fighters, it seems like the Navy just got the f-18, and now their going to replace it.

I remember that, I was fishing in that tournament and I remember seeing the helicopters and boats escorting that guy out.
