Great variety of entries, it just goes to show how many aircraft have worn the toothy grin, other than the usual P-40 and A-10 - although I'm a little surprised that nobody submitted an RC-135U. Some notable entries, including in no particular order: Seamus' Turkish Phantoms, Pete's Piaggio, Bernard...

So, for this comp I'm looking for aircraft with painted mouths - enjoy! As usual, three entries per person, some examples below. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48976337961_87614f50d1_h.jpg McDonnell Douglas F-4E-2020 Phantom - 13 by Nick Jennings , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/8158/7...

Thanks Sacha, much appreciated. I thought the entries in this comp were of a very high standard and I don't envy you having to judge it!

I'll have a think and try and come up with a new comp later.

Stunning stuff from the States Nick, so sharp even in the duller conditions at Nellis, that Arizona F-16 is fantastic. Do like the Iraqi pair though, great catch.

Thanks Caper, would certainly recommend a Red Flag to anyone who has the chance to go.

Luke AFB two years ago. Luke is another base where they train overseas F-16 pilots, and also F-35 pilots. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50061602578_8e28e65bff_h.jpg Lockheed F-16B Fighting Falcon - 02 by Nick Jennings , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50062179321_c77ed8ef8e_h.jpg...

At Tucson Airport two years ago, the airport is both civilian and military with the USAF training overseas F-16 pilots there.

Back in Las Vegas again, for the last time!

Yeah, I enjoyed it, a lot of sitting around doing nothing though, followed my mad moments when you heard something coming at the last second.
