Power in the Pines

Although the blue angels won't be here this year, I am still pretty excited to see the Thunderbirds perform. I have never seen them, so hopefully I can get a few decently sharp photos!

Took a quick trip up to Edmonton for the Edmonton Airshow out in Villeneuve Alberta. Since there doesn't seem to be one in Lethbridge or Airdrie, this was the one closest to home this Summer. Very happy that they got a F-16 Viper in from the US. The CF-18 is always a treat, but any of the classic fighter jets from the teen series is fantastic to see. The F-16 was certainly what I came for at that airshow. Looking forward to Abbotsford next week! Edmonton was a great warmup. First time shooting an airshow with the Canon 6D w/ 70-300mm L combo and I'm quite pleased with the performance compared to my previous setups.

I would say so far from best to worst for airshows personally it's Canon 6D w/ 70-300mm L > Olympus E-3 w/ 50-200mm > Canon 5D w/ 70-300mm non-L

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.

Looks to be based on a Sukhoi (Su-15)
