Some USAF Aggressor F-5E's (retired from service in 1988-89 timeframe to be replaced by F-16C, which were also soon retired with the deactivation of all four USAF Aggressor squadrons)

After F-5Es, and shortly before being deactivated, USAF Aggressor squadrons switched to F-16C models:

The 64th Aggressor Squadron based at Nellis AFB has since been reactivated and still operates F-16s and they will soon be joined by F-15 Aggressors--perhaps they will look similar to this:

...without Japanese marking of course.

As a side note, the 527th Aggressor Squadron, formerly based at Alconbury, England, then Bentwaters, England, has since been reactivated as the 527th Space Aggressor Squadron--taking it to the next level.

renmin, CVN-21 is the program to build this class CVN and CVN-78 will be the hull number of the first of this class. The ships is still unnamed. It will not be comissioned until 2012-2013 time frame. Nice "PS" of CVN-78 in the lower right of these pics.

The next USN Cv will be the USS George H.W. Bush CVN-77..here's a pic of it under construction at Newport News VA

Minutes later, the SM-3 intercepted a separating ballistic missile threat target, launched form the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii.
