OUR TENTH-YEAR! Come celebrate all of the ham-fisted, ill-equipped, unprepared and totally inebriated photographers around the globe whom attempted to get that perfect aircraft photo but "Jacked It Up." We aim to provide the finest “Best of The Rest” photos, 'cause we don't use no stinkin' screeners. You send it, we post it. Click on photos to see them full size, and submissions are most welcome (if you dare). Remember, "Don't delete. Just submit your pics and repeat."

Robert A. "Bob" Hoover, January 24, 1922 – October 25, 2016.
Sad news today, folks, with the passing of Aviation Legend, Robert A. "Bob" Hoover.
A man with a legacy worthy of many book (and movies), he led a life many could only dream of, and he was a gentleman, to boot!
We, here at Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photos, had the honor to meet the man, and watch his airshow performances, many times. Unlike many airshow pilots today, with a fraction of Mr. Hoover's talents, Bob always had time for the fans, and was always extremely gracious.
We mourn his loss, and wish him God Speed - Bob, we don't make 'em like you, anymore!
