 Peter Steinemann claims an early interest in military aviation after being attracted by the magic of the European air show circuit. Camera in hand, he spent most of his free time at the various aviation events across Europe. He was equally fascinated with the East, too, traveling extensively across Asia. He fell in love with the continent, its culture, its people—and especially with his wife, Jeong-Mi, whom he met in Korea. He settled in Australia—his base for trips to Asia, Europe, and the Americas. His work has been featured in Aircraft & Aerospace, Air Power International, Air Forces Monthly, World Air Power Journal, Air Fan, Jets, Aerei, Flugzeug, Vayu 2000, Koku Fan, and Defense Technology Monthly. His images have also been featured in aviation books, calendars, and advertisements.
"I consider myself very fortunate to have visited more than fifty air forces on six continents, flown in more than 100 different aircraft types, and taken air-to-air pictures from helicopters to jets. My most memorable F-16 ride came in a two-hour flight around the Himalayas in the backseat of an F-16B from the Pakistan Air Force. We flew with two Sargodha-based F-16As from No. 9 Squadron in the Himalayan foothills. No other aircraft can provide the fantastic visibility of the Himalayas as does the F-16."
