Sorry, couldn’t resist capturing these links after browsing a link from Rivets.
This German site with zillions of air-show pics and links
http://www.militaryaircraft.de/pictures/index.html
Includes those C17 flare smoke / trailing vortex images.
This bible (?) page with countless images of vapour clouds
http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20041216.htm
Linked here before, but this page has dozens (hundreds ?) of further links. Just love the hard-edged solid look of the cloud on this F14 – features in a number of AVI’s too.
Inlcuding this one where I came in
http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-200702.htm
The irony is the “arty” sunset images of the military machines in active zones, but that F14 in the green sunset is worth a peek anyway (scroll down).
Did I mention I was a plane spotter,
and an aero engineer originally ?
