Thunder take off. ( just a little trigger happy!)
Captain Matthew Kutryk. Thank you for your service.
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations and, since 1986, by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.
The F/A-18 has a top speed of Mach 1.8 (1,034 knots, 1,190 mph or 1,915 km/h at 40,000 ft or 12,200 m). It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 20-mm M61 Vulcan cannon. It is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a high thrust-to-weight ratio. The F/A-18 has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, primarily attributed to its leading edge extensions. The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.
The Hornet first saw combat action during the 1986 United States bombing of Libya and subsequently participated in the 1991 Gulf War and 2003 Iraq War. The F/A-18 Hornet provided the baseline design for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, its larger, evolutionary redesign.

Mirage IIIS of the Swiss Air Force during the Cold War. This is the first variant of the aircraft with a modernized version and a reconnaissance version being added later.
This design was made entirely using existing bricks. No modifications or painting.

GOTTA LOVE THOSE VAPES AND THE AFTERBURNERS! Best part of a USN Tac Demo!
Thought on Canada Day 2017, I'd drop some 2016 Abbotsford Airshow Images into the hopper. For more 2016 Abbotsford Airshow photos as I develop, go here: flic.kr/s/aHskF5Wv6X - thanks!

We were given a tour of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam when two F-22 Raptor fighter jets took off to escort a possible hijacked airliner near Hawaii.

Photographing this airshow was some of the most challenging photos I have ever tried to take. Aircraft traveling at Mach 1, really come and go fast, no chance for a second shot... This started me wanting a new camera with 6-10 FPS capability. It was an very exhilarating day of shooting though. Lots of fun, can't wait to go back next year!
