looking for online literature on modern jet fighters

[G3]

i am currently obsessed with watching AIR COMBAT and any other military related shows on tv and i am really enjoying trying to identify the various jets i see.

would like to learn more about the different types and eventually be able to see a jet and say, hey thats a F/A-18 or whatever with some sort of confidence rather than my current half guess :)

 

can anyone point me in the right direction as to a web site that has a collection of large-ish images of modern jets and some basic data about the aircraft, most sites i have found so far have provided copious amounts of info with dismally small images.

 

any help appreciated as always...

Next time you walk past a book store check it out.

There are many aviation books with large pictures & general infomation & often fairly cheap.

hello Rastus, thats a bloody good idea, i will do that, there is a second hand book store at my local shops.

 

good to see another fellow aussie in the forums, seems this game gets quite a bit of interest around these parts :thumbup:.
