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.

Thorpe Park in 1979 and one of the replica World War 1 aircraft gathered there at the time. Fokker DR1 triplane which was airworthy and active.

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!
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 is a restored F4U Corsair Navy fighter used in World War II. They were mainly flown off the deck of an aircraft carrier. The wings could fold up so that more planes could be parked on the narrow deck.
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 Fokker DVII was for many people the best German fighter plane of the Great War. The Fokker DVII was produced from 1918 to 1928. 3200 of these planes where produced.
An early start today at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk UK, home of the 48th Fighter Wing of the USAF. F-15E Strike Eagles waiting for take off into the morning sun.
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
Eventhough we were working and couldn't venture far from the Sony booth, I managed to make some photos

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!

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.

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.
Canon EOS Rebel series users are going to be very familiar with this view! :)
Just being a little cheeky.. ;) :P

My 16th Lego fighter plane MOC, 16th member of Victory Squadron: 2in1 - Great Albatross and Blind Pigeon.
McDonnell Douglas RF-4B Phantom II
Bureau Number: 157342
Year Built: 1970
This RF-4B belongs to the collection of the National Museum of Naval Aviation. Since 2002 it has been on loan for display at the Havelock Tourist Visitor Center located in Havelock, North Carolina. Havelock is the home of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. This airplane is painted in the Squadron colors of Marine Composite Reconnaissance Squadron Two "Playboys" (VMCJ-2). This RF-4B entered service with VMCJ-2 at MCAS Cherry Point in June 1970. In 1975 this aircraft was transferred to Marine Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron 3 (VMFP-3) based at MCAS El Toro, California. It served there until 1990 when VMFP-3 was decommissioned and the RF-4B type was withdrawn from service in the Marine Corps. During its time in service this RF-4B operated from forward bases around the world as well as from the decks of aircraft carriers. This airplane, along with many other F-4 Phantoms, was then sent to the Naval Aviation Depot at MCAS Cherry Point for conversion to remotely piloted target drones. Fortunately this particular RF-4B was chosen for preservation and restored to the markings of VMCJ-2 and put on display in 2002.
McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Corporation developed the RF-4B variant of the Phantom II to meet a U.S. Marine Corp requirement for tactical aerial reconnaissance. It was based on the F-4 fighter; however the RF-4B was unarmed. The fighter's radar-equipped nose was replaced with a special nose specifically designed for reconnaissance applications. There were three separate camera bays in the nose, designated Stations 1, 2, and 3. Station 1 could carry a single forward oblique or vertical KS-87 camera, Station 2 could carry a single KA-87 low-altitude camera, and Station 3 normally carried a single KA-55A or KA-91 high-altitude panoramic camera. The much larger KS-91 or KS-127A camera could also be carried. The rear cockpit was configured for a reconnaissance systems operator, with no flight controls being provided. Two ALE-29A/B chaff/flare dispensers were installed, one on each side of the aircraft above the rear fuselage. For nighttime photography, a set of photoflash cartridges could be ejected upward from each side of the aircraft. Film could be developed automatically in flight and film cassettes could be ejected at low altitude so that ground commanders could get aerial intelligence as rapidly as possible. These aircraft were deployed, during the course of their service life, with Marine Corps Squadrons VMCJ-1, VMCJ-2, VMCJ-3 and VMFP-3.
The world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II opened, but engine problems meant the aircraft did not reach operational status until mid-1944. Compared with Allied fighters of its day, including the jet-powered Gloster Meteor, it was much faster and better armed.
In combat, when properly flown, it proved difficult to counter due to its speed. Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 509 Allied kills against the loss of about 100 Me 262s.
The design was pressed into a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance and even experimental night fighter versions.
The Me 262 is considered to have been the most advanced German aviation design in operational use during World War II. The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by relentlessly attacking the aircraft on the ground, or while they were taking off or landing. Maintenance during the deteriorating war situation and a lack of fuel also reduced the effectiveness of the aircraft as a fighting force. In the end, the Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war due to its late introduction and the small numbers that were deployed in operational service.
The Me 262 influenced the designs of post-war aircraft such as the North American F-86 and Boeing B-47.
Thorpe Park shortly after opening, and one of the fine collection of World War 1 replica aircraft assembled there at the time. I don't know a DIII from a DV so I'll leave that to the experts. An even more dangerous Fokker DVII can be seen lurking in the background.

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.
