 Giampaolo Agostinelli doesn’t consider his aerial photography work. "It’s pure enjoyment.” His photos have appeared in Volare, Rivista Italiana Difesa, and Rivista Aeronautica. His normal subject matter includes unit ground operations, fighters, helicopters, and cargo aircraft of the Italian Air Force, British Royal Air Force, French Air Force, Spanish Air Force, US Navy, US Air Force, and the ANG.
"The Fighting Falcon has an incredible silhouette. It is photogenic and state-of-the-art.” His first flight in the F-16 was with the 174th FW in Syracuse, New York. “I experienced nine g’s on that first flight. An incredible sensation! I got to fly the aircraft for a short time, which gave me a feel for its superior maneuverability. I love the way the cockpit wraps around a pilot. At McEntire ANGB in South Carolina, I flew in the Block 52 F-16. We took off in full military power and shot into the air like a rocket. The F-16 may be small, but it’s bad to the bone."
