Me 163B-1a, III. / JG 400, Udetfeld in late 1944.
The most famous Komet must surely be the red Komet in which EK16 commander Wolfgang Späte flew the first operational mission with a Komet. Without his knowledge, the ground crew painted his aircraft bright red, similar to Von Richthofen's red aircraft in WW1. Apparently confidence in the Komet's invulnerability was high! According to his own accounts, Späte was not amused, and ordered the paint to be removed after the flight

The suspended Sea Harrier transforms machine into captive bird, the markings tattooing its surface evoking its namesake the Harrier Hawk. A Jaguar lies belly up on the floor, its posture suggestive of a submissive animal. Stripped and polished, its surface functions as a shifting mirror, exposing the audience to its own reactions. Harrier and Jaguar remain ambiguous objects implying both captured beast and fallen trophy.

Both planes are de-commissioned fighter planes.
The Jaguar has been polished, the Harrier painted with feathers.
Sea Harrier.
This particular plane is BAe Sea Harrier ZE695.
The British Aerospace Sea Harrier is a naval VTOL/STOVL jet fighter, reconnaissance and attack aircraft, a development of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier. It first entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980 as the Sea Harrier FRS1. The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.

Jaguar
This particular plane is Sepecat Jaguar XZ118.
First flight in 1976, decommissioned in 2006.
The SEPECAT Jaguar is an Anglo-French jet ground attack aircraft, used by the RAF until 2007.
The first pass this F22 made over my house was very low and slow. I was unloading groceries and didn't have my camera out. This is almost certainly the very last F22s off the Marietta, GA production line. A ceremony was held a couple of weeks back when the last Raptor was rolled out of the Lockheed-Martin plant.The little inset shows the uncropped image. I had the Samsung HZ15W at its full 10X optical zoom setting (240mm 35mm film camera equivalent).
Sadly, the Raptor was four times as high and moving faster when it came over for the second time. I played with this photo in Arcsoft's PhotoStudio as well as in iPhoto 9 as the photo is was bit blurry,

Flew with the 109 Squadron
This is the Canadair CF-104 Starfighter (CF-111, CL-90). It was a modified version of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter supersonic fighter aircraft built in Canada by Canadair under licence. It served with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and later the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) until it was replaced by the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet. The CF-104 entered Canadian service in March 1962. Originally designed as a supersonic interceptor aircraft, it was used primarily for low-level strike and reconnaissance by the RCAF. Eight CF-104 squadrons were originally stationed in Europe as part of Canada's NATO commitment. This was reduced to six in 1967, with a further reduction to three squadrons in 1970.Up to 1971, this included a nuclear strike role that would see Canadian aircraft armed with US-supplied nuclear weapons in the event of a conflict with Warsaw Pact forces.

See the set index page for more general information, but in summary, this photo was from the "Wings of Freedom Tour", at Norwood (MA) Airport, sponsored by the Collings Foundation, featuring a B-17G Flying Fortress, "one of only fourteen B-17s still flying in the United States", a B-24J Liberator, "the only restored flying B-24J in the world", and a TP-51C Mustang, "the world’s only dual control P-51C Mustang".

Japanese Navy land-based version of the N1K. Allied codename "George", considered by both its pilots and opponents to be one of the finest land-based fighters flown by the Japanese during WW2
The N1K was heavily armed and, unusual for a Japanese fighter, could absorb considerable battle damage. The N1K-J evenly matched the F6F Hellcat and was a better match than the A6M Zero for such aircraft as the F4U Corsair and P-51 Mustang. Despite such capability, it was produced too late and in insufficient numbers (some 1,435 total) to affect the outcome of the war.

"The TURKISH STARS are the Turkish Air Force Team and perform their high octane displays with "eight" supersonic NF-5 aircraft, at speeds varying from 200 Knots to 520 Knots (370km/h-960km/h) and with only 1 meter between each jet and G-forces up to G5."
