When all is said and done, all things must come to an end. Many units across all branches of service have stood down, and it has never been easy for any of us to watch, much less be a part of. Given my proximity to Luke Air Force Base and my love for the Viper, […]
Happy Saturday, FighterSweep Faithful! We wanted to start the weekend off right with a little Viper love, courtesy of the 310 FS “Tophats,” whose home station is Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona. The Tophats are a Formal Training Unit, or “B-Course” squadron, equipped with the Block 42 variant of the Lockheed-Martin F-16C Fighting […]
Good day to you, oh FighterSweep Faithful! We trust you’re having a busy, productive week, so we wanted to take a few minutes and delight your eyes and imagination with a perspective of modern air combat not often seen. Traditionally, when we talk about Red Flag, Sentry Eagle, or other Large Force Employment exercises, we […]
Honestly, we at FighterSweep couldn’t be any more excited about this Milestone Monday. Eighteen years ago today saw the maiden flight of the world’s most feared combat aircraft, the Lockheed-Martin F-22A Raptor, with Lockheed-Martin Test Pilot Paul Metz at the controls. Now before you get all bent out of shape about how it’s not fair […]
Admittedly, it has been a bit of a rough day. The fact is, I almost feel guilty for saying that, because a great many men and women are feeling far, far worse than I am. A year ago today, a McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle assigned to the 131st Fighter Squadron, 104th Fighter Wing of the […]
As we’ve previously mentioned, not only are the air-to-air guys getting in on the action in the Baltic Sea region and elsewhere in eastern Europe, but the Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II is also making its presence known. Nothing like a little BRRRTTT to brighten up everyone’s day! Yesterday, eight Hawgs and approximately 170 Airmen […]
The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker and its many variations has helped extend the range of a multitude of aircraft during it’s almost 60 years of service to the U.S. and a host of other nations. It is only because of the KC-135 and her bigger sibling, the KC-10 Extender, that the United States Air Force is […]
Seventy years ago today, the face of warfare changed forever. Terms like Silverplate and Little Boy took on whole new meanings, and the name Enola Gay became known across the globe. The “Enola Gay” was a Boeing B-29 Superfortress with extensive “Silverplate” modifications that delivered the “Little Boy” into the sky over Hiroshima, Japan. At […]
Here at FighterSweep, we like to acknowledge aviation milestones as they pass. We may be heavy on the tactical side of things, but we in no way discount or scoff the importance of assets with vital missions that most times provide little to no mention. The RC-135V/W Rivet Joint is such an aircraft, fulfilling an […]
Good afternoon, FighterSweep Fans! We are back with another installment of Milestone Monday, and today we are celebrating an important anniversary. On this day, in 1972, the McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle took it’s maiden flight at Edwards Air Force Base in the high desert of southern California. All ribbing from Viper guys aside, […]

On 22 September of last year, the United States and her coalition partners in the Middle East began Operation Inherent Resolve, an air campaign designed specifically to target the Islamic State. We have touched on the feasibility of destroying this particular enemy with air power alone, as well as addressed some of the frustrations experienced […]
