I think I'd need to change my underwear for sure after that one.

I took these during Desert Storm (1991) when I was a tanker copilot. 363rd TFW F-16Cs from Shaw AFB, SC. Real bombs. Some bad guys are about to die.

More from Desert Storm.

F-15C pilot from the 33rd TFW, Eglin AFB, FL taking a smoke break while his buddy refuels. Photo by a copilot from my squadron--we all traded photos. Note the single Iraqi kill flag and green star near the windscreen. Those guys loved it when we took out our cameras.




The swan-song for the F-4 Phantom in combat. Two RF-4Cs (photo reconaissance) perform for my camera during a refueling stop. It was like this: I said "Okay, break" on the radio and then I snapped the photo. We'd top-off anyone who would give us a little show while they were up with us.



Navy KA-6 Intruder (K = refueling version) close up by the cockpit for a photo. Note the extra tanks to refuel his Navy buddies. Yes, we'd occasionally refuel a KA-6 while the KA-6 refueled an F-14 or F-18.



My buddy Ken Murray shot this Eagle northbound at sunset. The war was fought primarily at night early on. I think this one made it into a calendar back in the '90s.

Recent photo of USAF "Heritage" F-4 Phantoms inflight near Tyndall AFB, Florida. They are painted in various authentic paint schemes from the Phantom's past. All four are drone aircraft and will eventually be shot down during tests.

Internet photo of an Air Guard KC-135 crew trying to kill themselves buzzing Wake Island. Try a stunt like that in the regular Air Force and your career is over.

It's all fun-and-games until someone gets decapitated! (Or consumed by the fireball, etc.)
