Update:The thread will continue to be updated by various posters. Once the aircraft has been correctly named you can add a new challenge.

I had a chance to go to the airshow this weekend. Thought I would test your skills at ID'ing the various different aircraft. Let's see who gets them all right first. I tried to make it a little more difficult on a couple by limiting how much you could see. Some will repeat as well.

The F-22 is "operational", however some of the advanced systems are still being tested.

Nice, haven't been to an airshow in a long time. Last one I attended was at El Toro USMC base in southern California way back when the base was still open. Check out the Wikipedia Entry

the F-20 isnt the same as the F-5. F-20 was a newer version that wasnt really used by the US. the aircraft in your pic looks like an F-5, because F-20s werent used as aggressors (the one in your pic is an aggressor).

Winner.. good job
The one pictured is the F-5. http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_displ … 0&ct=1

Big McLargehuge almost had it. Minus the "Big ass chopper"..lol

I will continue later. I took over four hundred pictures. I was using a new filter on a few here. Thats why some have the "cooling" effect. Needless to say I will never use that filter again.

I have some video as well.

I think I'll throw some of the vintage stuff in there next post.

It's a shame I missed the Blackbird. They had it blocked off in a hanger so you could not get anywhere near it. I didn't even notice until too late.

Next challenge
