A Lockheed P38 Lightning flying in the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It was cool to see this most unique fighter plane from WWII.

Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat fighter on display at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA. Note the unusual location of the main wheels when retracted, flush against the lower fuselage.

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.

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.

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.

One of two USAF F-15 Eagles that took part in the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow on the static display. Another aircraft that has stood the test of time. The Eagle first flew back in 1972 and it's flying with various air forces around the world and it's still in production with new variants. Some say it's the greatest fighter plane of all time and I say it's worthy of that title.
