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.

The 2017 CF-18 Demonstration Jet celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation -
flown by Pilot Captain Matthew Kutryk - 3 Wing Bagotville, Québec
The specially-painted CF-18 Hornet features the official logo for “Canada 150” placed throughout the design. The logo is composed of a series of diamonds, or “celebratory gems”, arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf. The four diamonds at the base represent the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Additional diamonds extend out from the base to create nine more points. Together, they symbolize Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. On the left wing, the timespan of Confederation is shown with the year of Confederation, 1867, and the 150th anniversary year – 2017. The right wing bears the official name of the celebration – “Canada 150”. All aspects of the design come together to create a truly unique and fitting tribute to this important year in Canada's history.

Canada launches first air strikes against ISIS: CF-18 fighter jets drop laser-guided bombs on targets in Iraq.
Canadian fighter jets dropped bombs over Iraq late Sunday, November 2, 2014, Iraqi time, Defense Minister Rob Nicholson announced in a statement from Ottawa.
“Today, Canada’s CF-18s conducted their first combat strike since joining the fight against [ISIS] on Oct. 30. Co-ordinated with our coalition partners, two CF-18s attacked [ISIS] targets with GBU12 500-pound laser-guided bombs in the vicinity of Fallujah, Iraq,” Nicholson said
“The approximately four-hour mission included air-to-air refueling from Canada’s Polaris aircraft. All aircraft returned safely to their base.”

i thought chase jarvis was right out to lunch when he spoke about overexposing photos for the sake of experimenting.
after debussing from the chinook, i took a few accidental snaps and this came out.
suffice it to say, im now a believer in temporarily overexposing shots.
Canadian soldiers, very well respected on the global stage....
