 Above and Beyond by Philip West  The SR-71 Blackbird is the worlds fastest and highest flying jet aircraft.  For over 23 years, the SR-71s gathered highly classified intelligence around the world for the United States, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon and other governmental agencies, allowing them to make crucial decisions during the Cold War.

  The Untouchable by Philip West  The SR-71 Blackbird is the world's fastest and highest flying jet aircraft.  For over 23 years, the SR-71s gathered highly classified intelligence around the world for the President of the United States, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Pentagon and other governmental agencies, allowing them to make crucil political and military decisions during the Cold War.  At Mach 3 + cruising speed, the SR-71's leading edges heat up to over 600 degrees F, where the outside air temperature is already at -60 degrees F.  In September 1975 the SR-71 set a world speed record from New York City to London in one hour, 55 minutes.  When the SR-71 was delivered to the National Air & Space Museum in 1990, it set a coast-to-coast record, flying from Los Angeles, California to Washington, D.C., in 64 minutes, 20 seconds. 

Chippy Ho by Philip West  One of the most potent multi-mission fighters ever built, the rugged McDonnell Douglas F-18 Hornet has been a mainstay of the US Navy and Marine Corps during the last two decades.

Philip has made a classic study of an F/A-18C Hornet from VFA-195, tactical call sign Chippies, flying a fully armed mission exercise near Mount Fuji while detached to Kadena AB, Okinawa. The colourfully painted squadron CAG bird Chippy Ho, strikes a menacing pose, equipped with AGM-88 missiles, AIM-9L Sidewinders, drop-tanks and sensor pods.

The F-18 demonstrated its effectiveness and versatility during the Gulf War when, on a strike mission and loaded with 2,000 lb bombs, two Hornets from VFA-81 dispatched two Iraqi MiG-21s with Sidewinder and Sparrow missiles, before continuing to complete their bombing mission.

Habu 972 at Mach 3.0 by Philip West  Richard Graham and RSO Don Emmons cruising their SR-71 in after-burner, gathering intelligence over the Soviet nuclear facility at Kamchatka, December 15, 1976.  At 80,000ft Rich Graham's SR-71 Blackbird is all but invisible to the three MiG fighters seen contrailing at 45,000 ft below. Under radar control, the MiGs make a futile attempt to intercept, but with the SR-71 travelling at three times the speed of sound along the edge of the stratosphere, there is nothing they can do. At this great height the crew of Habu 972 can clearly see the pronounced curvature of the earth and, in broad daylight above them, the brightest stars shining in the heavens. The SR-71 Habu 972, now resides in the National Air & Space Museum, Washington DC.

Eagle Intercept by Philip West At the height of the Cold War the Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear long-range bombers roamed the world's skies. On constant alert, the interceptors of the First Air Force were tasked with the air defence of continental United States.  Depicted in a magnificent cloudscape, a pair of F-15A Eagles of 125th Fighter Wing based at Jacksonville IAP, Florida, intercept a Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear en route non-stop from Moscow to Havana, Cuba. High over the Atlantic, the F-15 pilots give the Russian crew a reminder of what to expect if push comes to shove.  F-15 Eagles proved their superiority whenever put to the test, recording a 60:1 kill ratio against Syrian flown Soviet built fighters over the Lebanon, and again during the Gulf War claiming 33 Iraqi aircraft destroyed.
