Military Aircraft Photo of the Week

I’ve been entertaining the idea of featuring Military Aircraft photo of the week for a while now, just to kind of commemorate my time in the Air Force, as well as show some images of the Military Aircraft past and present. I don’t know where this feature will go. The goal will be to post something on a weekly basis, most likely on Saturdays. It may drift from strictly Air Force to include Military Aviation History.

The photo above is that of an SR-71 Blackbird encased in ice after a freezing rain hit the base. Taken at Lackland Airforce Base, Texas, Jan 16, 2007. (U.S. Air Force Photo, Lance Cheung.) The ice cycles hanging from the front of the aircraft makes for a very interesting image. In a way, I think it is stunningly beautiful.
