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 Viper performance was pretty cool. Unfortunately the cloud cover basically prevented most sharp ascents (low ceiling), but it was cool to see anyway.
The Shenyang J-11 is a "copy" of the Soviet designed Sukhoi Su-27.
After i finished my Su-35 which have a colorfull scheme, i wanted a one-tone color version
i think a one-tone color looks more convincing in LEGO.
Scale is 1/20
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.
The classic kit by Revell, originally released in 1957.
This model depicts Fokker Dreidecker 1 (Fokker Dr.1, 'Triplane 1' in English), serial number 425/17.
Serial number 425/17 was one of several Fokker Dr.1s flown by Baron Manfred von Richthofen, and was the one in which he was shot down and killed near Vaux-sur-Somme, France, by British ace Arthur Roy Brown on April 21, 1918.
There is apparently not enough photographic evidence of this aircraft to be able to accurately portray its paint scheme. Manfred von Richthofen described it as a 'rotes flugzeug [red aircraft],' but that doesn't automatically mean it was wholly red.
Because of this, I didn’t try to model it according to the best educated guesses, but instead modeled it the way it has classicly been depicted.
With the exception of the addition of some 10- and 20-lb test black fishing line for rigging and control cables, I built it pretty much straight out of the box.
For painting and finishing, I used:
Revell RVL-34136 Carmine Red
Revell 36188 Matt Ochre
Tamiya TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan
Tamiya TS-6 Matte Black
Tamiya TS-26 Pure White
Tamiya X-10 Gun Metal
Testors 1146 Metallic Silver
Testors 1260T Lacquer Dullcote

Restored Supermarine Spitfire XVI (1945) and Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk (1943) at Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
The Supermarine Spitfire XVI on the left was manufactured in August 1945 at the Supermarine works of Vickers-Armstrong Ltd., England. It bears the serial number SL721 and is registered under the call sign C-GVZB. Over 22,000 Spitfires were built in nearly 30 variants during World War II.
The Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk on the right was manufactured in 1943 by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation in Buffalo, New York, U.S.A. It bears the serial number 399 and is registered under the call sign C-FVWC. Close to 14,000 Kittyhawks and their variants were built during World War II.
I want to thank fellow Flickr member, Mark Sherwood, for correcting me regarding the Kittyhawk, which I originally wrongly identified as being a Hawker Hurricane. Thank you, Mark!

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable swept-wing, two-seat strike fighter used by the U.S. Navy from 1974 to 2006. The aircraft was designed for air combat in all weather conditions, in day or night missions. With its advanced weapons control system, the Tomcat can track up to 24 targets and attack 6 enemies simultaneously with Phoenix AIM-54A missiles. For over three decades, the four variants of the F-14 Tomcat served as the U.S. Navy’s primary air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform.
Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum’s F-14D, Bureau Number 163904, rolled off the Grumman Iron Works production line on Long Island, New York in April 1991. It was one of 37 built as production model F-14Ds and not converted from an F-14A. It first served at NAS Miramar with VF-11 Red Rippers. It finished its career with VF-31 Tomcatters, based out of NAS Oceana, where it participated in the final flight ceremonies of the Tomcat.
This F-14D was loaded aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) at San Diego and delivered to Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum on June 27, 2008.

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.
