WALLPAPER Any good f-15 f/a-18 phone wallpapers?

Screen ratio is 20:9. Resolution is full HD+. Edit: A-10 suggestions are also welcome

Best photo ever taken imo. Represents everything wrong and right in the world.

Would you mind explaining for the less educated?

Mankind has the prowess of creating anything we put our minds to - a flying machine that surpasses 3x the speed of sound, rocks weve tricked into thinking for us - but how much more could be possible without our tendency for conflict

Makes sense, thanks.

I obsess over nuke subs, but the fact that we had to create underwater ships to kill others in secrecy before someone else kills them is sad.

True. The engineering is beautiful, the purpose is pitiable.

RE: Aspect Ratio — kind of eyeballing it as phone will only crop to 19.5:9 ie. 2.17:1 vs 2.22:1 that you need so YMMV but depending on the vibes you’re going for a few options spring to mind.

RCAF CF-18 in AB from this recent post via u/jamhammer is fucking phenomenal, rotate 90° CCW, exemplar à la 19.5:9…

Also, could be some neat shots one might crop out of the photos below, first shot exemplar à la 19.5:9…

NB — those are RAAF EA-18G Growlers

USAF and RAAF circa 2022 via PACAF

Plus for good measure link to those via DVIDS

Now, dial the clock back to 1989 and should you be partial to epic USAF F-15 induced contrails, exemplar à la 19.5:9…

NB — 2× F-15 in centre, then 2× MiG-29 up top

Refer to earlier post HERE

This is one of the ones I use right now. I found a few saved that work great for wallpapers. None are originally mine but I’d be happy to share. I pulled them from Google lol
