The Air Force took these incredible photos in a single one-week span

The US Air Force is nothing if not photogenic. The military's air branch does incredible things on a daily basis - and its photographers are there to capture some of its most spectacular moments.

In the first week of March alone, the Air Force published photos showing everything from training flights for F-22 stealth fighter pilots to practice parachute jumps to a panel discussion with a Tuskegee Airman in honor of the end of National African American History Month.

March started off with an F-22 pilot taking part in the 2015 Heritage Flight Training and Certification Course. The demonstration allows military and civilian pilots to practice flying in formation.
