This latest CD from Aero Research is for the incredible F-16 'Viper'. This aircraft is probably the best selling fighter in the western world since the F-4 Phantom. It will take a bit of doing to exceed the F-4's 5000 plus, but as popular as the F-16 is, it could happen.

This particular CD covers USAF F-16s in regular, reserve, and ANG service. Each of the 153 images has whatever information is known about it listed on the top of the screen when one is using a program such as Windows Explorer to view these images. Each image is huge and that accounts for the 387 megabytes on the CD. The listing is according to unit; and that means basically Air Force, Wing and then Squadron as the case may be. Not unusually, most of the aircraft on the CD are the 'boss birds' with the unit name or some other sort of special markings.  

Like the other products of Aero Research, this is not a CD full of close-ups of the wheel wells or the intake. This one is full airframe to show off the entire aircraft. A disc of eye candy that I am positive you will find to your liking.

 You can get more information by e-mailing AeroResearch@Charter.net as they have not yet established a web site. To order your copy, call 775-746-8615 as they take major credit cards.

Thanks to Aero Research for the review CD.
