Let’s get the party started! A USMC F/A-18 from VMFAT-101 “Sharpshooters” turns in to engage an IAI F-21A Kfir and an F-5E near MCAS Yuma, Arizona (Circa 1989). Classic Top Gun.

F-105 Thunderchief　The Vietnam War gets all the attention on the F-4, but please give this little guy a bit more notice too. As a fighter-bomber, it worked hard dropping bombs like crazy or diving into enemy air defenses. I like the angle of the intake viewed from above.

The late Shah of Iran during a visit to the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom production line in St. Louis in the late 1960s. Must have been a fun day. A licensed pilot, and an avid #avgeek, the Shah took a personal interest in flying machines and air power.
