A US Navy E/A18G Growler 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.
The Messerschmitt Me 163, designed by Alexander Lippisch, was a rocket-powered fighter aircraft of the German Luftwaffe during WW2. It is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft to have ever been operational. Its design was revolutionary, and the Me 163 was capable of performance unrivaled at the time. Messerschmitt test pilot Rudy Opitz in 1944 reached 1,123 km/h (698 mph). Over 300 aircraft were built, however, mainly due to the peculiar nature of its power plant, the Me-163 proved ineffective as a fighter, having been responsible for the destruction of only about nine Allied aircraft.

This P-47 is part of the collection of the New England Air Museum located in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. They have quite a nice collection of different aircraft and other memorabilia. Just $11 admission. Its worth the take.
RAF Typhoon awaiting clearance for take off: Development of the aircraft effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaborative effort between Germany, France, UK, Italy and Spain. Due to disagreements over design authority and operational requirements, France left the consortium to independently develop the Dassault Rafale instead. A technology demonstration aircraft, the British Aerospace EAP, first took flight on 6 August 1986; the first prototype of the finalised Eurofighter made its first flight on 27 March 1994. The name of the aircraft, Typhoon, was formally adopted in September 1998; the first production contracts were signed that same year.

A check of other photos here on Flickr shows that this actual aircraft of the RNLAF (Royal Netherlands Air Force) was later taken out of service and mounted as a gate guardian at Leeuwarden Air Base
