A biplane Fokker airliner? Yes and no - the substantial lower wing of the F.V (F.5) could be removed and it could be operated as a monoplane, although as such it looked dangerously incomplete. Only this example was built and it was tested for two weeks by the German-Russian airline Deruluft, carrying the Russian registration RR13. It became H-NABW in March 1924, and shortly thereafter it was exported to Austria. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

One of my favorite F-14 Tomcat pictures. AJ-105 of Fighting Squadron (VF) 31 grabs the cable on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) during the final cruise of the F-14. VF-213 Black Lions and VF-31 Tomcatters had the honours to bring the Tomcat to war (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and to home for the final time. Awesome!

Night shot on board the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) during operations in the Arabian Sea. Operation Iraqi Freedom (March 2003 - August 2010) was a 24/7 operation, so Carrier Air Wing ONE operated full time during their deployment.

F/A-18C of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 136 Knighthawks behind the massive Jet Blast Deflector of the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). The Hornet is armed with air-to-air sidewinders as well as a series of bombs underneath the wings. The aircraft was assigned to a Counter Insurgency mission near Baghdad (Iraq) with some twenty other aircraft from Carrier Air Wing ONE. The Enterprise was floating in the Arabian Sea at that time.

A F/A-18F Super Hornet seconds away from its controlled crash on board the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). The carrier was set in the Arabian Sea for several months during Operation Iraqi Freedom. All aircraft flew with live weapons, and when not used in the combat theater, many aircraft were able to take the weapons back to the carrier. Jet fighters of an earlier age than the Super Hornet were often forced to throw their weapons into the sea before landing at a carrier, as they were too heavy for a safe landing.
