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.

Some Victory Squadron units (Sonic Bat + 2 Trooper Striker Speedboat) vs Zigar the Delta Dragon, final battle at the delta. This is the bloody version I made for my Flickr. I submit the original version as an entry for Lego MOC Contest about "Clash Of Superheroes" theme held by Emporium Mall Pluit Jakarta, 1-31 August 2015.
I rebuild my old fighter plane, Giant Albatross & Blind Pigeon 2 in 1, with modifications, and this is it, with new shape, new colour, and new name, the 13th addition to my new Victory Squadron. I build this as my entry for "Fly Me To The Moon - Battle Royale" MOC Competition at Bhinneka LUG FB group.
This was a beautiful P-51 Mustang. WWII vintage and restored to WWII beauty. I would hate to have this thing chasing me. With it's sleek design, it would look like a bullet coming straight at you. Seen at the Hill AFB Air Show 2009, Clearfield, Utah
here is the first version of my F-16. Inspiration for the nose taken from Mike on Flickr

here is the link to the pic that I used. This is only the first version so expect some changes to be made. I would like to rework the air intake quite a bit as well as add landing gear and all of the armaments to the wings. Feedback is welcome. Happy Building!

One of the unsung heroes of the Battle of Britain, the Hawker Hurricane played a vital role in securing Allied air superiority. Though often overshadowed by the Spitfire, it accounted for more enemy kills during the conflict and proved rugged, reliable, and essential to the RAF’s efforts.
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.
Supermarine Spitfire Mk VIII
Rego: VH-HET Military S/N: A58-758
History
CA-16 Wirraway This Spitfire is one of two flying Spitfire's in Australia both of which are here at Temora Aviation Museum.
The Spitfire Mk VIII is an all-metal, semi-monocoque construction with a canti-levered wing, fabric covered elevators and rudder and retractable landing gear. A total of 20,334 Spitfires were built before, during and after the war with a total of 1652 Spitfire Mk VIII variants were built.
This aircraft was the last Spitfire acquired by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It was built by Supermarine in England in 1944, test flown and then shipped to Australia. The Air Force took delivery of the aircraft in April 1945. with World War II drawing to a close, the aircraft was not required on active service and was placed into storage.
After the war, the aircraft was used at Sydney Technical College as an instructional airframe. It was then acquired by Mr. Sid Marshall who stored it, disassembled, at Bankstown until 1982. Mr. Colin Pay of Scone obtained the Spitfire and began a detailed restoration program which was completed in 1985 when the aircraft flew again.
The aircraft is painted in the green and grey camouflage colours worn by the RAAF aircraft defending Darwin during World War II and in operations in the South West Pacific. The aircraft carries the markings of Wing Commander R.H. (Bobby) Gibbes OAM DSO DFC*.
David Lowy acquired the aircraft in May 2000 and donated it to the Temora Aviation Museum in July 2002. The aircraft is maintained in an airworthy condition and regularly flown at Museum displays and airshows.

I rebuild my old fighter plane MOC, Nightbird with minor modifications, and give it a new name, this is it, Raven / Nightbird v2.0.
love this p-51 shot from the abbottsford airshow many years ago. Even though the slide was kept in a container for 35 years, the coating on the film breaks down to form small pinhole sized marks in the colour. Took about an hour using the 'healing brush' to restore the colour.
My 16th Lego fighter plane MOC, 16th member of Victory Squadron: 2in1 - Great Albatross and Blind Pigeon.
A Canadair MK-6. V Sabre (Serial # 23649) in Brockville, Ontario, Canada, along the St. Lawrence River.
More popularly known as the Golden Hawks Sabre Jet, this single-engine jet fighter was designed by North American Aviation Inc. and produced in Canada by Canadair Ltd. between 1950 and 1958 and was first flown on October 1, 1947.
It became the dominant Western fighter aircraft in the early 1950s and was used by the U.S. Air Force in Korea against MiG-15s. It also served with the RCAF in Europe in its commitment to NATO. It reached supersonic speeds in dives - first achieved in Canada by test pilot Al Lilly, in 1950 when he broke the sound barrier. They were flown by the RCAF's Golden Hawks aerobatic team from 1959 to 1964.
