ReviewsPacific Flyer, October 2006 "With unparalleled access, veteran aviation photographer and author Rick 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 more." Air International, March 2007 "[The author] has amassed one of the largest collections of 'cutting edge' photographs of U.S. Navy and Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) aircraft in action ... Excellent though the photography is, this is far from being simply 'a picture book.' Rick is also an accomplished and knowledgeable writer, and he described the NSAWC and its aircraft in an extremely readable style. Recommended.", In FlightUSA,October 2006 "This up-to-the-minute view of the 21st century's Integrated Carrier Wing Strike Training is an intimate and striking tribute to the elite machinery of the U.S. Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC), which trains with great expertise air crews, squadrons, and air wings. Author and photographer Rick Llinares had unparalleled access to this elite facility and his proximity to his subject matter shows in his dramatic and almost loving shots of various aircraft (F-14 Tomcats, F-16 Fighting Falcons, F-5 Tigers, etc). Photographer Llinares' work makes this the best aviation-oriented 'Coffee Table' style book of the year so far.", Pacific Flyer, October 2006 “With unparalleled access, veteran aviation photographer and author Rick 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 more.� Air International, March 2007 “[The author] has amassed one of the largest collections of ‘cutting edge’ photographs of U.S. Navy and Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) aircraft in action & Excellent though the photography is, this is far from being simply ‘a picture book.’ Rick is also an accomplished and knowledgeable writer, and he described the NSAWC and its aircraft in an extremely readable style.
