F-15C

USAF F-15C fires a AIM-7 Sparrow

Current Featured Picture

Implied an "evening" environment and sharpened it (though I think the shapening took away from the image

This image is a interesting photo of a F-15C firing a missle (AIM-7 Sparrow medium-range air to air missile). I cropped the image from Image:USAF F-15C fires AIM-7 Sparrow.jpg. The former image was in the article, F-15 Eagle. This image is in the public domain because it contains materials that originally came from the United States Air Force (www.af.mil/photos).

Comment I have replaced the older image on F-15 Eagle with this version since the older version had an excessive amount of useless sky space. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 04:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support nice Image and I think it's better than the vertical image that was mentioned above. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 04:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Slightly unsharp at full res, but hey - you don't get to shoot a pic like this every day... --Janke | Talk 06:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose "evening" edit, loss of detail in highlights and shadows. --Janke | Talk 16:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support great pic, ack Janke. --vineeth 07:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. V. nice + informative. |→ Spaully°τ 11:10, 5 March 2006
Support. Even though there was a similar picture, I just think that this is an awesome picture. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 11:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support With the pilot visible, you really get a good idea of how big both the plane and missile are.--Lewk_of_Serthic _contrib ^talk 04:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support although not quite as sharp as it should be Calderwood 12:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I think the already existing FP is better and less typical. Looks like a US Air Force recruiting brochure, and I'm not sure that's desirable for one, let alone two, featured images. But perhaps I'm just being crotchety. –Joke 17:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For the record, the current FP f-15 eagle is firing flares, not missiles. TomStar81 23:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There are plenty of good USAF pictures of planes and hardware. Appart from the missile, this one doesn't have anything special about it. -- Solipsist 09:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support ~~Second and~~ third images. ~~Both~~ quite nice! Staxringold 19:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The 2nd image is already a Featured Picture..... — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-11 20:04
  - Then no wonder I supported it! :D Staxringold 15:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support It is definitely not as striking as the current FA picture, but it is still very very good, and it is informative in a different way because it is firing a missile, not flairs. I was neutral until I really thought about what it is showing about the size of the image to the pilot - that tipped me into the support camp. Also, I did a Google image search, expecting to find lots of PD photos of F15C firing Aim 7's but I found fewer than I would have expected, and none better than these we are looking at.

Oppose all (strong oppose for the edit), the edit takes too many liberties with the original content. Broken Segue 02:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
