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 US Navy E/A18G Growler flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.

Colorado Springs, CO - I guess when you start the game with a pair of F-22 Raptors flying over Falcon Stadium, you can't help but down Navy by a score of 30-21. Go Air Force! Go Falcons!
These two magnificent aircraft belong to the 95th Fighter Squadron (nicknamed "The Boneheads" and "The Home of Mr. Bones"). The squadron motto is "Death with Finesse". I'm also told they were being flown by pilots with the callsigns "Blaster" (flight lead / right plane) and "Rum" (wingman / left plane). More information on the squadron can be found at: 95TH FIGHTER SQUADRON FACTSHEET
