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 pair of US Navy E/A18G Growlers flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.
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.

Markings are for a Hurricane IIC flown by F.S.J. Leguerrier of 417 Squadron RCAF based in Shandur (near Suez). On September 26, 1942 the pilot shot down a JU88. This was the first Squadron victory of WWII.
The Black Eagles is the only team to boast formations composed of eight aircraft built with home-born South Korean technology, the supersonic T-50. The ROKAF Black Eagles pilots have flown their respective ships over the distance of 3000 nautical miles to perform at the Singapore Air Show. The Black Eagles will soar and embroider the skies of Singapore with twenty exclusive manoeuvres specifically designed for the Singapore Airshow 2014.
Done for a friend who is hoping to become a USAF fighter pilot. My interpretation of Roy Lichtenstein's Whaam! art piece. It is one of my favorites so I tried to do as much justice to it as possible.
Done with watercolors, pen and paint marker.

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.
