This latest CD from Aero Research covers a bunch of USAF types, as do the earlier volumes. These are mostly aircraft from the 1970s-1990s, though there are a considerable number from before that period as well. The disc also includes air to air images. The vast majority of images are very well done, though some, for a variety of reasons, are not the quality that one would expect, but included due to historical value.

There are 153 image coving 280 Megabytes of disc space. Each entry is listed alphabetically starting with the A-7D and working through to the VC-137. This includes A-10s, A-37s, B-52s, F-16s, F-111s, KC-135s, RF-4s and a lot of other aircraft in between. There is a goodly mixture of both standard line aircraft as well as some special markings for meets and some boss birds as well. I was particularly interested in the A-7D that was in two rather unusual greens as part of the experiment to determine what would be best after the SouthEast Asia (SEA) scheme.

It is another interesting disc that has a lot of very nice aircraft on it. One that every aviation enthusiast will enjoy.
