In "Strike," veteran aviation photographer and author Rick Llinares takes us beyond Top Gun, into the new era of integrated Carrier Air Wing strike training at the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center in Nevada. Llinares puts readers into the cockpit with the nation's top pilots as they undergo air-to-ground, air-to-air, search-and-rescue, and intelligence training in the military's most advanced aircraft. This book is the first profile of the U.S. military's latest pilot training facility and procedures, including unprecedented access to the latest in warfare techniques and technology. Includes riveting and informative first-person accounts from the instructors, fleet air crews, and commanders, and 200 color photos of the aircraft in today's modern air force.
