I can't tell you how many Top Gun Maverick graphics and moodboards I've seen that make me laugh because they include these pictures or ones very similar.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BECAUSE, Y'ALL.
Those are the Thunderbirds.
The AIR FORCE demo team who fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
For Top Gun Maverick graphics and moodboards, you want these guys.

The Blue Angels
They're the Navy's demo team who fly the F-18 Super Hornet.
The exact same plane they fly in the movie (fun fact: it was a Blue Angel Super Hornet that did the actual fly over above Admiral Cain we see Darkstar do in the movie).
Now, the two teams do fly together on occasion. But please make note of two differences besides the obvious paint schemes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1) The F-16 has one tail fin while the F-18 has two and 2) The F-18 is way bigger than the F-16.
Also a reminder that the Navy does NOT fly the F-22 Raptor (that is Air Force only).

Ok time to introduce one of my OCs
Meet Nathan "Strike" Grayson. Yes, he is the jet who is the S/O of Dusty.
Model: F/A-18F Super hornet
Age: Early or mid 30's
Gender: Male, he/him
Birthdate: December 19th
Nationality: American
Sexuality: Bisexual
Current S/O: Dusty crophopper
Occupation: Fighter jet in the US Navy, works with Squadron "Jolly wrenches", VF-103.
Physical:-
Eye color: Dark green (changed recently)
Marks: Spot on his left side
Designs: Lightning bolt stripe on both sides under canopy, which was formally yellow, changed after he started dating Dusty. He has 2 stripes on both his wings as well.
Generally about him:-
Strike has pretty much always been a social and curious jet. He enjoys goofing from time to time and is seen as a confident, capable, and dedicated fighter. He's also one who quickly adapts to new changes or people. However, those who know him long enough, would know that he's often good at hiding his emotions. It usually takes him a while to open up to people. Along with that he can get really stubborn.
It was his curious nature to get to know more about the cropduster-turned-racer, and his social nature and politeness that really got Dusty and him talking every time Dusty visited the carrier. Eventually, it went from becoming good friends to more than just that.
Fun fact, he earned his callsign after an incident of being struck by lightning during training. His guilty pleasure is literally singing. He just enjoys it but doesn't like to show it lol.

Post for March 24th 2023
this week I was able to get more photos of F-18s visiting Sky Harbor as well as dusk photos of the British Airways A350 that operates a regular service between LHR and PHX every day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are various photos I managed to capture of F-18s that were briefly staying at PHX last weekend, being able to catch them was mostly up to luck as there isn't really any way to effectively track them via adsb or flightradar24.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a USAF C-17, normally stationed at March AFB which landed at PHX on the morning of March 24th, likely stopping h ere in preparation to then head down to Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson for the upcoming Airshow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the British Airways A350-1000 earlier mentioned, specifically G-XWBL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the American Airlines 777-200LR N788AN departing for a flight from PHX to LHR. The first photo also features a 737-800 lined up with the 777 in an attempt to demonstrate scale
Tumblr media
This is a WestJet 737-700 specifically C-GYWJ taking off from PHX Sky Harbor.
Tumblr media
This is a PrimeAir 737-8(F) operated by Sun Country Airlines on a cargo charter to PHX. Unlike the widebodies that operate under Prime Air, the 737 has a primarily blue paintjob covering the majority of the fuselage.
Tumblr media
Finally, this is a Mesa Airlines CRJ-900 reg. N914F, operating in the colors of Mesa Airlines, something that isn't as common at PHX because most flights operated by Mesa to PHX are operated through American Eagle.
