[Editor’s Note: Anyone else ever consider being an astronaut? I know all of my friends and I did, ever fascinated by the immensity of the craft that would propel us into orbit, and the vastness of outer space. Throw in some Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, and perhaps even Buck Rogers, and it was a perfect […]
[Editor’s Note: I can’t speak for any of the rest of you, but I dream of one day owning a Husky or Super Cub, loosing my inner Bush pilot, and being able to explore the back country in a way few are able. There’s just something about the thought of landing in a meadow high in the […]
[Editor’s Note: When tensions are high in a particular region, we can always trust the loudmouth in the neighborhood will continue to do what it does best: run its gums, deny, and make counter accusations. Same Iranian story, same lame rhetoric, different day.] The U.S. military released a video Saturday showing what it says is […]
[Editor’s Note: Kim Jong Un announced the successful test of an alleged hydrogen bomb in the past few days, and as one might expect, a great deal of saber-rattling has ensued.

Classified military footage of the Phoenix Lights UFO phenomenon has recently been leaked by a former U.S Air Force aviator. The footage reportedly captures never-before-seen cockpit footage of Lockheed-Martin F-16 and Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter jets in action the night of the original incident 17 years ago. 56th Fighter Wing Public Affairs at Luke has received numerous […]
Just a few days ago we brought to you some great footage of a B-2 flyover of the Rose Bowl. Many people often wonder how those jets get right over their heads just at the last note of the National Anthem. The answer is simple really: it’s just part of the job description. Military aviators, […]
It’s rare you get to see the Nightstalkers of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment in action, mainly because their missions and the bulk of their training are, appropriately enough, conducted at night! This video compilation contains some good daytime footage of the unit training in both field and urban environments–as well as a few […]
Happy Sunday, FighterSweep Fans! Like many of you, I built a lot of model airplanes as a kid, and while I may have left that hobby behind decades ago, the interest in how things go together remains.
