US Navy F-18 Hornets

At last weekend’s Steelers playoff game, these 2 jets flew over the stadium after the national anthem was played.  I think these are US Navy F-18 Hornets, but I’m not 100% sure.  Do you know?

By the way, this is another example of minimalistic photography.  What is that you ask?  It is a style using a minimum amount of components such as color, shape, line, and texture.   It is highly subjective and the meaning is up to the perception of the viewer.

Vought A-7 Corsair II

This is a supersonic aircraft was expensive to operate and the high speed isn’t required for all combat roles.  This plane was dedicated to ground attack and emphasized efficiency, range, and weapons capacity over speed and maneuverability.  This aircraft type was commissioned in the 1960’s to replace the A-4 Skyhawk on Navy carriers.  This specific aircraft was carried aboard the John F. Kennedy during Desert Storm.  It is on display at the Carolinas Aviation Museum.  I took this photo last summer and created it with a 7 exposure auto-bracketed image.

Harrier Jump Jet

The Harrier (or sometimes called the Jump Jet) is a military plane capable of taking off vertically.  Its features were displayed well in the 1994 True Lies action moving staring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold.  I took this picture inside the Charlotte Air Museum last year prior to visiting my brother’s family.

A-10 Thunderbolt

This is a 7 exposure auto-bracketed set merged together using Photomatix Pro and edited in Photoshop CS6.  I took this photo during the summer on my visit to Georgia.  My son and I went down there to visit a great friend of mine, who I met over twenty years ago while I was in the military. 

During my time in the military, I spent lots of quality time around A-10s in the Middle East.  This specific A-10 is sitting outside the Warner Robins U.S. Air Force Aviation Museum.
