There must be at least 100 people on the Marina Bay Sands Resort "Skydeck" if you look closely. The Fighter plane came ever so close to the building whilst afterburners on. The plane made such a load noise as it passed by and shock the surrounding buildings. Amazing plane.

Hornet J-5011 of fighter squadron 11, "Tigers" of the Swiss Air Force.

 

This model in scale 1:32 is based on the excellent Canadian CF-18 by Ryan Harris, whose building instructions I bought to create my Swiss version of a Hornet.

 

Like the Canadian CF-18s, the Swiss F/A-18s feature a search light on the left side of the fuselage in front of the cockpit. All the working features of Ryan's model can be found on my Hornet as well:

- Opening canopy

- Movable flaps, ailerons and elevators

- Deployable airbrake

- Lowering arrestor hook

- Stowable landing gear with working doors

 

After I built an initial version following the building instructions, I made quite some changes to Ryan's design to incorporate some more features and better represent the Swiss version of the F/A-18C. Changes I made include:

- All grey color scheme

- Complete redesign of the wings to incorporate folding wing tips

- Section in front of the cockpit features IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) antennae and a deployable refuelling probe

- Radar warning antennas behind the cockpit

- More detailed engine nozzles

- Extended starter rails and different armament

- Smaller details all around

 

My model represents the plane of the squadron leader of "Fliegerstaffel 11" or fighter squadron 11 with the immatriculation J-5011. The latter one is shortened to 011 on the forward fuselage.

 

Squadron 11 call themselves "Tigers" and so it is quite obvious that they regularly participate in the NATO Tiger Meet. The livery on the model shows the design of the 2011 edition of the Tiger Meet. The decals are from a supplier of waterslide decals for plastic models and are perfect to scale in 1:32.

 

The Hornet is shown in a typical configuration for air police service. The armament consists of a 20 mm M61A1 gatling gun, 2 AIM-9X Sidewinders on the wing tips and 2 AIM-120B AMRAAMs on the fuselage hardpoints. Furthermore a centerline fuel tank is carried which shows the standby frequency of 121.50 MHz.

 

The display base represents a section of taxi way, leading to runway 28 of the Meiringen air base, which is homebase to squadron 11.

A second RCAF CF-18 Hornet performing the CF-18 Demo in the evening show of the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. It cool seeing the demo at night, the Hornet's afterburners could be fully seen. It was a loud demo too, the pilot didn't hold back.

A beautifully restored example of the iconic North American P-51 Mustang, “Marinell” is painted in the authentic markings of the 339th Fighter Group, 504th Fighter Squadron of the USAAF. Based at RAF Fowlmere during WWII, this aircraft is a tribute to the long-range escort fighters that helped secure air superiority over Europe. Seen here at IWM Duxford, it continues to turn heads with its elegant lines and powerful presence.

A P-51 Mustang sits on the tarmac, ready for flight. The iconic World War II fighter plane is a symbol of American air power and innovation. Its sleek design and powerful engine made it a formidable opponent in the skies, helping to secure victory for the Allied forces.

WWI Era Nieuport N.28C-1 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nieuport_28 The Nieuport 28 (N.28C-1) was a French biplane fighter aircraft flown during World War I, built by Nieuport and designed by Gustave Delage. Owing its lineage to the successful line of sesquiplane fighters that included the Nieuport 17, the Nieuport 28 continued a similar design philosophy of a lightweight and highly maneuverable aircraft.

For Macro Mondays, theme - 'negative space'.

Red Arrows with another amazing display, weather was a bit miserable tho.

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.

RNAS Culdrose Air Day

An F-35 flies overhead with the afterburner lit. As an engineer, I am in awe of this aircraft! It's like the F-117 and the F-16, or maybe the F-22, all rolled up into one incredible package. Then again, you pay for what you get.
