Since a year or so, that´s my current picture, sometime downloaded from an U.S. airshow website. I still like the magnificent A-1 Skyraider, especially in USAF service during the last campaigns of the Vietnam War. Their SOF operations are another part of my "special interests". The first picture shows a screen shot of my current desktop, the second picture shows the original shot:

I'm biased, but it has to be BF:1 at rollout. I've got two good backgrounds for it. I can't wait to see it flying!

I've always been rather fond of this jpeg.

The artist also has a picture of an B-1B Lancer down on the deck among many other illustrations. http://www.drublair.com/comersus/store/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=55

Please don't take this as snobby, but I prefer wallpaper that's pictures I've taken Smile They remind me of good times when I'm stressed out Wink

I have a program from Webshots that rotates the wallpaper on my computer at work so there's a different image every 15 minutes.

Here's a few of the pics that show up there Cool

Two favorites that I switch out from time to time...One is Pops' F-106 taking off from Tyndall in with the blower lit, and the other was his F-4, with a wingman intercepting a Bear near Iceland.
