Thank you pinoyphotog www.flickr.com/photos/pinoyphotog/ for the P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft identification.
A USAF F-15 Eagle and an RCAF CF-18 Hornet flying together for a NORAD Flyover during the evening show of the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow.
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.

Yes, the shadows are over blue but keep it quiet ;-)

On the left Aaltonen, Suikkanen, Linnamaa, Lipsanen. Lipsanen has just returned from a combat flight and there is a fist-sized hole in the fuselage of a Fiat G.50 (FA-28) a/c. Lunkula Aug. 10, 1941.
I rebuild my old Lego fighter plane MOC, Swallow, with modifications, and give it a new name: Phoenix. 7th addition to my new Victory Squadron.
WWI Era Nieuport N.28C-1 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nieuport_28 The Nieuport 28 (N.28C-1) was a French biplane fighter aircraft flown during World War I, built by Nieuport and designed by Gustave Delage. Owing its lineage to the successful line of sesquiplane fighters that included the Nieuport 17, the Nieuport 28 continued a similar design philosophy of a lightweight and highly maneuverable aircraft.
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 Hasegawa kit. This model depicts P-38F-1-LO 41-7582, 94th FS, 1st FG, 12th AF, Algeria/Tunisia, 1942.

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

This classic WW2 fighter aircraft was seen at the Jubilee Air Show today, 2/06/12, on the Leas at Folkestone, Kent UK.
Pair of classic British fighters (Supermarine Spitfire Mk V.b and a Hawker Hurricane Mk I) in flight at the Yorkshire Airshow, Church Fenton, UK.
Hornet J-5011 of fighter squadron 11, "Tigers" of the Swiss Air Force.
This model in scale 1:32 is based on the excellent Canadian CF-18 by Ryan Harris, whose building instructions I bought to create my Swiss version of a Hornet.
Like the Canadian CF-18s, the Swiss F/A-18s feature a search light on the left side of the fuselage in front of the cockpit. All the working features of Ryan's model can be found on my Hornet as well:
- Opening canopy
- Movable flaps, ailerons and elevators
- Deployable airbrake
- Lowering arrestor hook
- Stowable landing gear with working doors
After I built an initial version following the building instructions, I made quite some changes to Ryan's design to incorporate some more features and better represent the Swiss version of the F/A-18C. Changes I made include:
- All grey color scheme
- Complete redesign of the wings to incorporate folding wing tips
- Section in front of the cockpit features IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) antennae and a deployable refuelling probe
- Radar warning antennas behind the cockpit
- More detailed engine nozzles
- Extended starter rails and different armament
- Smaller details all around
My model represents the plane of the squadron leader of "Fliegerstaffel 11" or fighter squadron 11 with the immatriculation J-5011. The latter one is shortened to 011 on the forward fuselage.
Squadron 11 call themselves "Tigers" and so it is quite obvious that they regularly participate in the NATO Tiger Meet. The livery on the model shows the design of the 2011 edition of the Tiger Meet. The decals are from a supplier of waterslide decals for plastic models and are perfect to scale in 1:32.
The Hornet is shown in a typical configuration for air police service. The armament consists of a 20 mm M61A1 gatling gun, 2 AIM-9X Sidewinders on the wing tips and 2 AIM-120B AMRAAMs on the fuselage hardpoints. Furthermore a centerline fuel tank is carried which shows the standby frequency of 121.50 MHz.
The display base represents a section of taxi way, leading to runway 28 of the Meiringen air base, which is homebase to squadron 11.
The paint scheme on this Rafale is an hommage to the D-Day troops of 6th June 1944 - it took part at this years NATO Tiger Meet @Mont de Marsan BA118. In the early morning of June, 6th 1944, the Bostons of the “Lorraine” flew very low above the shore of Normandy,
in order to deliver a curtain of smoke, thereby enabling the amphibious troops to land under cover.This year we celebrate the 75th anniversary of operation Smoke Screen. The Dark Tiger originates in the darkness of the night of the nights, and blows the wind of freedom.

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.

The P-47 Thunderbolt “Tallahassee Lassie” making passes over head during Aviation Day at KPAE. Still as nimble and as fast as the day she first flew, this WWII vet love putting on a show.
