USAF Thunderbirds performing a high altitude maneuver at the Baltimore Fleet Week air show. The photo is cropped significantly as the aircraft were very far from the camera when the photo was taken. I also post processed the photo to highlight the jet engine afterburn and to try to minimize the effects of atmospheric haze. Photographed at Baltimore, Maryland.
Wikipedia:
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in 1940 by North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The Purchasing Commission approached North American Aviation to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Rather than build an old design from another company, North American Aviation proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed, and first flew on 26 October.

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.
This is another photograph I discovered of this amazing event, which I wanted to share with you and with the F-15 Eagle flying past the Marina Bay Sands and in doing so having afterburners on. In this photograph the F-15 Eagle is even closer to the building!

A striking scene at IWM Duxford: the angular lines of the Hispano Aviación HA-1112 ‘Buchón’ take centre stage, with the elegant shape of the "Johnnie Walker" PV202 Spitfire poised just behind. Born of similar roots but flown on opposite sides of WWII, the two aircraft now share the same tarmac - history meeting history.
"Ration Stamp No. 5, Ration Stamp No. 6," etc. Text on background image: "U.S. Government Ration."
According to Wikipedia, "A ration stamp, ration coupon, or ration card is a stamp or card issued by a government to allow the holder to obtain food or other commodities that are in short supply during wartime or in other emergency situations when rationing is in force."
Wikipedia displays a sheet of 44 of these fighter plane stamps that are numbered from 5 to 48 and describes the sheet as "World War II War Ration Book No. 3, fighter stamp, ca 1943."
The OCLC WorldCat record for War Ration Book, No. 3 (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Office of Price Administration, 1943) explains how the stamps were used: "The paper stubs, or stamps, in each ration book purchased rationed consumer goods and foods. War ration book no. 3, valid September 1943, included 8 pages of stamps, four for meat rationing, and four for a clothing rationing program never put into effect. Some clothing stamps were eventually validated for shoe rationing."

We saw not one but two fighter jets as we stopped by Father Crowley Point for the second time as we left Death Valley. Can you help identify what kind of fighter plane it is? Thanks!

The old 1/24 scale MPC kit. This kit was originally released in 1973 by Airfix, but was also licensed out to MPC in 1977. Decals by Techmod (Techmod 24018 Hawker Hurricane Mk. I).
This model depicts airplane RF-R/R4175, flown during the Battle of Britain by Czechoslovak Pilot Sgt. Josef František of 303 Polish Squadron, Northolt.
Pilot Sgt. Josef František was an unorthodox airman, combative and generally unruly. He was not inclined to coöperate with authority nor with his peers, preferring instead to break formation and hunt Nazi planes as a 'lone wolf,' rather than fly as a team player. This refusal of discipline would ordinarily not have been tolerated in the RAF, but František, due to his talent as an airman, was able to get away with it. A fearless and superb pilot, he was the top-scoring non-British RAF ace, with 17 confirmed victories.
On October 8, 1940, František crashed while he was on patrol in the airplane depicted by this model, Hurricane RF-R/R4175. The cause of the crash remains unknown.

What would an airshow be without an authentic piece of history flying past.... Seen here at the recent Wickenby Wings & Wheels event on 19/06/2011 in Lincolnshire, UK.
The Supermarine Spitfire flew over a few times in a dark brooding sky, laden heavy with cloud.....the sound of the engine reverberating over the airfield.
