I enjoyed a visit to the Museum of Flight in 2008. I reworked this one with updated software and I really like the results.
This Hawker Hurricane Mark IIC dates from 1944, and is powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine. In the background, the Boeing B-29 "Enola Gay" is visible in the middle of the Smithsonian's cavernous Udvar-Hazy Center.
I tried to make a plane a while back and I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the result.
RF-9 (reconnaissance fighter 9)
A two person (pilot and navigator/photographer) jet developed for heavy missions, built like I tank it can withstand multiple small caliber round hits without sustaining much damage. Very few were ever created because of the great cost of manufacturing such a beast.

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.

What had been no-man's land between East and West Berlin near the Reichstag.
The building at left had been a guard tower. And yes, that's a Soviet-made fighter plane suspended from it upside down. All repurposed in the name of art.
I couldn't find this location on later visits, the city had changed so much.

The current 2010 Duveen Commission, by Fiona Banner.
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 The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.
Here are assorted pictures of the United States Navy's Blue Angels team performing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township, Michigan.

Though many Sea Furies have been converted to Curtiss-Wright or Pratt & Whitney power, this example retains its original Bristol Centaurus engine and 5 blade propeller.
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.
