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 old 1/24 scale MPC kit. This kit was originally released in 1973 by Airfix, but was also licensed out to MPC in 1977. Decals by Techmod (Techmod 24018 Hawker Hurricane Mk. I).
This model depicts airplane RF-R/R4175, flown during the Battle of Britain by Czechoslovak Pilot Sgt. Josef František of 303 Polish Squadron, Northolt.
Pilot Sgt. Josef František was an unorthodox airman, combative and generally unruly. He was not inclined to coöperate with authority nor with his peers, preferring instead to break formation and hunt Nazi planes as a 'lone wolf,' rather than fly as a team player. This refusal of discipline would ordinarily not have been tolerated in the RAF, but František, due to his talent as an airman, was able to get away with it. A fearless and superb pilot, he was the top-scoring non-British RAF ace, with 17 confirmed victories.
On October 8, 1940, František crashed while he was on patrol in the airplane depicted by this model, Hurricane RF-R/R4175. The cause of the crash remains unknown.

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.

DALO days in Ballerup: The Ministry of Defence's Materiel and Procurement Agency is behind the exhibition, which is targeted at defense and preparedness.
I am ashamed to admit that all the new equipment, radars, vehicles, artillery and missiles that were for sale (it is a trade show after all) didn't really make me want to take pictures. There is a world of difference between the smiling business people in suits showing off the newly polished weapons, and then the reality that is happening at the fronts. I recognize the necessity of the equipment, but I didn't get good photos home.

A full scale replica of a Hawker Hurricane, the famous British single-seat fighter plane of the 1930s–1940s. Hurricanes played a major part in the WWII Battle of Britain. Tucked away behind the wing, you can just see a red Ferrari 308 GT4.

The plane that I was most excited to see fly at the airshow this year! A restored Mikoyan Mig-17 Fresco flying during the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was unique to see this Cold War era jet. The Mig-17 was actually the most feared fighter plane for a time. No NATO fighters were able to beat it until the F4 Phantom II entered service in the 1960s. It was still cool to see and just as intimidating as it was back in it's prime.
