We don’t typically preview stories five months before they’re published, but this is just too cool. Award-winning photographer Tyler Stableford was recently allowed to fly along with F-16 pilots of the 120th Fighter Squadron stationed at Denver’s Buckley Air Force Base. The resulting stills and video footage taken in-flight over the Rocky Mountains are stunning. Click the image below for a preview and look for the full package here and in our print edition in July.
