A Vought F4U Corsair flying in the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.
This painting by Darryl Legg depicts 'PUDGY', a P-38H Lightning flown by Thomas McGuire on his 14th mission, escorting B-24s on 29 August, 1943. Acrylic on canvas, 16"x 12". In my personal collection
A Vought F4U Corsair flying in a demo the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It flew a solo demo later on in the airshow and was fantastic, pilot handled the old warbird well. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.
A Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornet on the static display at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow.
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.
Flying the leg of the runway, a P3 Orion makes a pass.
The workhorse for the US NAVY's anti-sub platform has had a long and extrodenary career, but as the P8 Poseidon orders are filled, sadly soon she will be a footnote in history.
An F-4 Phantom at the Air Zoo, a rival of the MIG-21. The F-4 was, by today's standards, not very manueverable, but it was fast! It's top speed was a shade over Mach 2.2, and it was a cool-looking jet.
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
Testors 1261T Lacquer Glosscote
A USAF F-15 Eagle flying during the evening show of the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. Thanks to it being an evening show, I got some good shots of the Eagle's afterburners.
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.
An F-35 flies overhead with the afterburner lit. As an engineer, I am in awe of this aircraft! It's like the F-117 and the F-16, or maybe the F-22, all rolled up into one incredible package. Then again, you pay for what you get.

So, we were at Andrews AFB this past Saturday and of course I took a ton of photos, but I really wanted to share this one with you guys. During the opening ceremonies Paul McCowan parachutes into the show with a massive 5,000 square foot American Flag during the National Anthem. Well I was taking photos and noticed he was headed towards the Blue Angels so I framed up the jet I hoped he was heading towards....but as parachuters come in for a landing they change directions according to the wind, etc.....so I tried to predict where he was heading and framed up the jet and stopped watching the guy coming down.....I kept hoping he was still headed for where I had predicted. Then all of a sudden the flag appeared in my viewfinder and I took the shot.............in the lower left you can see some soldiers running out to catch the flag as it approaches the ground.

A Lockheed P38 Lightning flying in the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It was cool to see this most unique fighter plane from WWII.
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.
A USAF F-15 Eagle flying during the evening show of the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. Thanks to it being an evening show, I got some good shots of the Eagle's afterburners.
There must be at least 100 people on the Marina Bay Sands Resort "Skydeck" if you look closely. The Fighter plane came ever so close to the building whilst afterburners on. The plane made such a load noise as it passed by and shock the surrounding buildings. Amazing plane.
