I have always been fascinated by military aircraft. Here are five free Qixels™ patterns for some of the most amazing planes of the U.S. Air Force. To capture the distinctive outlines of fighter jets and other war planes with the square Qixels pieces, some are built on the diagonal.
 |
| The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the “Warthog,” is the only plane ever produced by the U.S. Air Force solely for close air support. |
 |
| The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, better known as the Stealth Bomber, was one of the first aircraft with stealth technology. This design is called a flying wing. |
 |
| The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle is a variant of the F-15 Eagle, one of the most versatile and powerful fighter jets of all time. In air-to-air combat, F-15 Eagles have achieved over 100 victories in air-to-air combat and zero losses. |
 |
| The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is the only fifth-generation jet fighter aircraft in service anywhere in the world. No other in-service fighter jet can match its advanced technology. |
 |
| The Grumman X-29 is an experimental aircraft developed by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. Its innovative shape led to its being dubbed “the most unstable aircraft ever built.” |
