Those are some great shots of the KC-135. I've always loved the look of that general family of airplanes (707/C-135/C-137)...just an elegant design in my opinion.
Here is one I'm stealing from another F-104 thread because I just happen to like the shot....I believe it's a Norwegian F-104...with AIM-9s under the wings oddly enough (as opposed to the wingtip of fuselage twin-missile mount)

Yes, info says that the shot was taken from a Tu-16RM when intercepted in the Barents Sea on August 17, 1981 by a Norvegian CF-104 from 334 Squadron based in Bodø.

Agree on both of the last two comments.
That is the best F-104 angle and that A-7 photo has always been one of my favorites. The SLUF in the Navy low-viz gray or ANG grays of the 1980s always looked nice in my opinion.

Happens all the time. :rolleyes:
Could be an excellent PAPI substitute at grass fields, e.g.:
Too high: Breasts only.
Too low: Lower body only.
On glidepath: Full frontal.

Mountain Home Airforce Base
I am in the frozen North and it makes me shiver to think that aircrews and pilots had to scramble in weather like this well below zero F.

Just to make an a** of yourself as you overrun in front of the ladies? :p
Dense air can be nice for performance. Got to look at the bright side. :)

That is probably the best angle for F-104.

The desert strom camo was also very nice.
