My new background pic for my desktop.. I have over a thousand hi-rez pictures of military themes that I switch around as desired. Just wonder what code pink has for their desktop picture?

Gorgeous pictures. What is the plane shown in photo #18?

[SIDENET]

That's an SR-71 Blackbird.

According to the Photo Credit #18 (following the last photo) that sleek aircraft is none other than the SR-71 from the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing . DoD image ID: DFST8307618.

What is the plane shown in photo #18?

That would be the SR-71, aka 'Titanium Blackbird', aka 'Habu'.

Thank you for the info. That's a very cool picture. I note that it was taken at Beale Air Force Base, which I believe is just north of us who are here in Sacramento. Very, very cool. Thanks again for the info, and my deepest thanks and appreciation for your service.

Beale Air Force Base, Yuba City, CA...

[hsalaw]

Thank you! I went to the Beale Air Force Base website, out of curiosity, and just doing a quick browse through it, I couldn't find where it was. I thought it was Marysville or Yuba City - very close to Sacramento. Thanks again.

I was stationed at MacDill AFB (93-97). I always liked that part of Florida. Beautiful sunsets on the Gulf.

I looked at the main site. That sub is NOT U.S. The silhouette is all wrong. Looks Soviet.

Right on!!!!!!!

[Liberty Valance]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

According to the Photo Credit for photo #5 (way down after the last photo) U.S. Navy Photographer's Mate 2nd Class D. Beech snapped the picture. You're right, it's a Soviet sub. Makes one wonder what was happening in the Atlantic at that time.
