Now time for some trivia! Do you like to know the basic parts of a Jet Airplane? Here are they:
Fan - The fan is the first component in a turbofan. The large spinning fan sucks in large quantities of air. Most blades of the fan are made of titanium.
Compressor - The compressor squeezes the air that enters the jet into smaller areas to increase in the air pressure.
Combustor – In the combustor the air is mixed with fuel and then ignited. There are as many as 20 nozzles to spray fuel into the airstream. The mixture of air and fuel catches fire.
Turbine - The high-energy airflow coming out of the combustor goes into the turbine, causing the turbine blades to rotate.
Nozzle – The nozzle is the exhaust duct of the jet engine. This is the jet engine part which actually produces the thrust for the plane. The combination of the hot air and cold air are expelled and produce an exhaust, which causes a forward thrust.

The F-16 was produced by General Dynamics in the mid 70s to fill the USAF’s need for a new and cheaper, light-weight fighter. Its strength, power, and overall work-horse performance made it last through the millennium with dozens of countries, including the US.
In the air combat role, the F-16 has BVR, day/ night, and all weather capabilities. It can fly over 500 miles and back to deliver ordnance during air-to-surface missions.
The F-16, for most people, is the coolest plane ever!
Latest versions of the F-16 keep the pilot informed with a wide angle Head Up Display and infra red imaging. The aircraft needs only the turning of two switches for engine start. It can be ready to take off in less than sixty seconds from engine start.
The United States Air Force Thunderbirds demonstrate their supersonic jet aircraft through a show comprised of a series of intricate manoeuvres. The exhibit of their aircraft roaring overhead has been said to increase service enlistment while enhancing the image of the USAF.
A show typically lasts over one hour. In it the team performs around thirty manoeuvres. The team personnel are made up of eight pilots, four support officers, and three civilians and over 130 enlisted personnel.
The Thunderbirds, based at Nellis Air Force Base, NV, was originated in 1953 and are still going strong to date.

Did you know that the F-18 Blue Angels jets are the undisputed world’s first and most popular air exhibition team? Oh yes they are, pilots! In fact, the Blue Angels perform at least 50 air shows a year – worldwide!
History of the F-18 Blue Angels
The Blue Angels air team originated when Admiral Chester Nimitz proposed a service flight team to promote public interest in the U.S. Navy, and naval aviation. The team performed for the first time on June 14, 1946, flying four Grumman F6F Hellcats. In August of that year, they upgraded their aircraft to the faster, more nimble Grumman F8F Bearcat.
As the popularity of the Blue Angels increased, the performance of their aircraft also grew. In 1949 the team transitioned to their first jet fighter aircraft, the Grumman F9F Panther. Through the years they have also flown the F9 Cougar, the Grumman F11F Tiger, the McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom, the McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, and since 1986, the F/A-18 Hornet.
Today, the first of 24 F/A-18 Super Hornets, destined for use by Australia, completed assembly on July 10, 2009. It is the two seat model F.
Now, the F-18 Blue Angels are stationed out of Pensacola, Florida, enjoy world wide popularity. The patterns that they fly in their demonstrations are modifications of combat maneuvers performed in Naval aviation.
Performing 50 Air shows a year, the Angels delight over fifteen million people by their spectacular formation flying. It is estimated that over 425 million people have watched the F-18 Blue Angels perform since the team’s first exhibit over 50 years ago.
