Flight Lieutenant Jonny Dowen puts the Typhoon through its paces during public display authorisation for his solo display. The immense power and maneuverability of the aircraft are shown to great effect. Very impressive.
Val-Halla, a restored P51 Mustang, flying at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was supposed to be taking part in the USAF Heritage Flyover alongside the F35 Lightning II but the F35 hand to land due to technical problems so Val-Halla flew on it's own while the RCAF Snowbirds prepared for their performance. Val-Halla was named for both it's pilots Bill Anders wife Valerie and for the Black Knights P51 squadron that was stationed at Keflavik, Iceland during the Cold War.
A USAF F35 Lightning II performing during the Lightning demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was an awesome demo, it was cut short however due to technical problems. A warning light came on and the pilot had to land. That said she put on a good show, didn't hold back, and she nearly broke the sound barrier.

The air intake of the MIG-15, the classic "enemy" of the F-86. These early jet fighters are interesting and yet, now, amazingly old! Before the needle-nosed supersonic jets, these craft battled for air supremacy...
I find it interesting how photos of classic MIG aircraft are very popular now.
A restored USAF P51 Mustang from WWII flying during the Warbirds demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It flew alongside an F4U Corsair and a P38 Lightning .

The aircraft is painted in a distinctive silver and red checkered pattern, with a cartoon graphic on the side. A ground crew member is visible in the foreground, likely assisting with pre-flight checks.
An F-4 Phantom at the Air Zoo, a rival of the MIG-21. The F-4 was, by today's standards, not very manueverable, but it was fast! It's top speed was a shade over Mach 2.2, and it was a cool-looking jet.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-17; NATO reporting name: Fresco) is a high-subsonic fighter aircraft produced in the USSR from 1952 and operated by numerous air forces in many variants. It is an advanced development of the similar looking MiG-15 of the Korean War. The MiG-17 was license-built in China as the Shenyang J-5 and Poland as the PZL-Mielec Lim-6.
MiG-17s first saw combat in 1958 in the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis and later proved to be an effective threat against more modern supersonic fighters of the United States in the Vietnam War.
