The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", due to it resembling a viper snake.
Shot this during a low speed fly-pass at about 650kmph at the Aero India 2011.

They seem to do what they want over the air field, was awesome they even had time to do a few manoeuvres over the run way for us!
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.

For the 35th anniversary of the F-16 in Belgian Air Force service FA-104 was repainted to represent the Fighting Falcon prototype "50745"
A USAF Boeing F-15 Eagle on the static display at the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. It amazes me that the Eagle is still flying after fifty years, that it's still in production, and air forces around the globe are still ordering new ones. This was one of two F-15s that took part in the show, one flew later on.

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
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.
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.
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.

The RCAF CF-18 Hornet demo during the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow. The Cf-18s are now due to be replaced by the new CF-35 Lightnings by 2027 making this years airshow one of the last few times that they'll be at Abbotsford. It'll be sad to see them go when they're finally retired.
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 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.
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.
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.

A USAF F-35 Lightning II flying in the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow. This was the plane that I most excited to see. The pilot put on an incredible demo too, she didn't hold back, showed off all the F-35 can do, and came close to breaking the sound barrier.
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.
