CF-130 returning to earth after hauling the Canadian Forces SkyHawks Parachute team up and dropping them off a few thousand feet above the ground. I should have slowed the shutter down for this one but I guess I got distracted and forgot.....
I still like the pure black background best.

John Gallagher was a a former Canadian Forces member, who joined the fight in Syria, fighting and giving aid to those he truly believed to need the assistance. Gallagher was killed in an attack by ISIS involving a bomb at the side of the road.
A warm welcome by the community in which he grew up, Chatham-Kent,received Gallagher's body in the most Canadian tradition of lining the streets, highways and bridges along highway 401.
This has been the Canadian way of saying thank you to those who have sacrificed everything for the country since the war in Afghanistan.

These barracks were built by the Canadian forces in the end of the 1950's. In these barracks the unmarried forces settled while the married soldiers got to live in a compound nearby outside the barracks.
On the terrain there were churches, a gym, radio antenna and the cinema.
In the 1970's the Canadians left and the barracks were used by the British forces. Uptil the mid 1990's when the last soldiers left and no others came to take their place...

The Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck (affectionately known as the "Clunk") was a Canadian jet fighter serving during the Cold War. It was the only Canadian-designed fighter to enter mass production.
The CF-100 is not considered to be truly supersonic since it could not exceed the speed of sound in level flight. However, on 18 December 1952, S/L Janusz Żurakowski, the Avro company chief development test pilot, took the CF-100 Mk 4 prototype to Mach 1.0 in a dive from 30,000 ft.
I believe this is the CF-100 Mk 5D, which is at CFB Borden, Ontario.

The Cartier Square Drill Hall (1879) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was erected in 1879. Its current tenants are the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh's Own) and The Governor General's Foot Guards.
The building was designed by Thomas Seaton Scott, first Chief Architect of the Dominion of Canada. This building is a rare surviving example of a military training facility built in the immediate post-confederation era when establishing a military presence and asserting the role of the federal government were important government aims.

The forward fuselage of this CF-18 is covered in black sut from exhaustive use of its cannon on the firing range.
A bit of mystery is this ex-RAF Dakota IV acquired after WW-II. It was based with the RCAF in Europe 1955-70 then allotted CF-BKR in Jan/72 but by Dec/72 it was off the CCAR with no foreign registration or accident data found. Hard to believe this cream-puff didn't have a post-military career.
