Burner Friday: Royal Air Force Tornado GR4

The UK’s Royal Air Force, having been a background player in the fight against Daesh, recently began their first strikes in Syria following a Parliament vote in favor of the campaign. Within hours, five-hundred-pound Paveway bombs fell with the most forceful of intentions from Panavia Tornado GR4 fighter-bombers onto Daesh-controlled oil fields. The swing-wing Tornado, affectionately known as the […]

Burner Friday: Bad To The BOne Takeoff!

Burner Friday: Bad To The BOne Takeoff!

For some, there is absolutely nothing sexier or more powerful than a Rockwell B-1B Lancer, also known as the “Bone” or “BOne,” in full afterburner on takeoff. Taking a look at the photo, it’s really difficult to not agree. Admittedly, we at FighterSweep are very spoiled in the sense we get to witness the BOne […]

Burner Friday: 182FS Block 30 F-16C

It’s a cool, calm morning in the high desert of south-central Oregon. The peaceful morning doesn’t stay that way for long as soon the Klamath valley was filled with the sound of GE and Pratt motors hard at work, spewing fire and converting dinosaurs into that unforgettable noise we all love and crave.
