If you happen to own onOne version 2.5, this very plane is used in a sample picture for the [nuclear] Fallout filter, except that they use the opposite side of the plane in their picture. I obliged and used the same onOne filter (Fallout, Warm) in this shot after putting it through Photomatix.
Three images each two stops apart merged in Photomatix and polished up in Photoshop CS4.

A formation of Swedish Air Force JAS 39 Gripen suddenly flew over my head during a stroll in Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm, mid December 2021. An unexpected but welcome opportunity to test my Sony A6400 and Sony E70–350 4.5–6.3 G OSS lens together.
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.
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.
This aircraft is painted in the colors of squadron VF-111 operating from the USS Intrepid, more specifically the one flown by Lt. Anthony Nargi, who downed a MiG 21 on September 19, 1968 during the Vietnam War.

CV-17 USS Bunker Hill, Pacific Ocean 1944-1945.
The Avenger was designed to replace the TBD Devastator as the torpedo plane used by the U.S. Navy. While its initial combat debut at the Battle of Midway was not very impressive (only six were available, and five of those were shot down), eventually the Avenger came into its own, despite being hampered by the poor quality of U.S. torpedoes during most of the war. It featured a long internal torpedo bay that could also carry large bombs, and later in the war Avengers fired rockets from underwing mounts at ground and ship targets. Its most characteristic feature was a revolvable gun turret with a .50 caliber machine gun that that was operated by the rear gunner.
(Replica) Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1X full-scale replica of a World War 2 Spitfire.
Although a replica this Spitfire the fuselage along with some cockpit items are original.it represents an early Mark 9 version of the aircraft that was introduced from July 1942 onwards as a stopgap measure to counter the threat from the Luftwaffe's Focke-Wulf FW 190A. To save time and resources, the early versions were built onto Mark 5 fuselages and fitted with Rolls Royce Merlin engines. The fuselage of our aircraft is original, dating from late 1942 and is believed to have been acquired for an indoor museum in the late 1970s where it had fibreglass wings and a tail added. All of its cockpit interior had been stripped out. It came up for sale Summer 2015, in a very poor condition with its frame weakened by age and the surviving parts of its fibreglass wings and tail in poor brittle condition. Derbyshire born brothers Steve and Mel Heappey bought the aircraft and commissioned the restoration fixing the (original) undercarriage to the fuselage to make it easier to move around, replacement of its fibre glass wings in Summer 2016 and in further phase of restoration, mostly to the interior of the cockpit, was carried out. The aircraft was purchased with the markings of the machine flown by ace pilot James Edgar Johnnie Johnson the highest scoring RAF fighter pilot to survive the war with 34 confirmed kills and a further 7 shared For the 2017 and 2018 seasons this colour scheme was restored. From 2019, the aircraft was given a new, refreshed paint scheme representing an aircraft from 601 Squadron originally an amateur RAF squadron originally formed in 1939 in a London gentlemen's club and composed of aristocrats and adventurers. Through the battles of Britain, Malta, the African desert and Italy, the squadron's composition was transformed, and by war's end only a minority were British and none of the millionaires were left. The squadron existed beyond the war, flying DH Vampire and Gloster Meteor jets until disbandment in 1957.

Because I haven't had much opportunity to take new photos for a while, I've been re-editing some old photos, a few of which I've uploaded to Flickr before.
This is the Red Arrows breaking in the sky above my house in September 2007.
Led by 88th Squadron Commander Major Abdullah al Ghamdi, the Saudi Hawks are one of the most distinguished and well-loved regional aerobatic teams. Flying British-made Hawk Mk65 smoke-capable jets proudly bearing the RSAF green and white 'coat of arms', the Saudi Hawks' breath-taking performances have been a regular feature of the Al Ain Aerobatic Show for many years, with a fresh take and a brand new set of manoeuvres each season.
The combination of intensive training, constant reinvention and unflinching determination won the Saudi Hawks an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest ever aerial drawing. The majestic manouevre, dubbed the 'emblem move', resulted in a smoke drawing of the Saudi emblem, consisting of two swords crossed over a palm tree, and took two years to perfect.
"We bring something new to Al Ain every year," said Al Ghamdi. "We create and rehearse fof six months ahead of the display season to surprise the public with every one of our performances."
