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.
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.
A later model of Zero, restored and repainted to represent one of those which attacked Pearl Harbor.
The Zero, built for speed and maneuverability, flew metaphorical circles around the more powerful, but heavier and slower American planes in early clashes. Within a few years, however, American tactical and technological advances destroyed the Japanese advantage; new versions of the Zero were used later in the war, but the essentially obsolete concept was never fully replaced with something new, innovative, and better.
Unconditional Surrender is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square, but said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen.

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.
[From the Tate website]
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.
"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."
