Upclose the AV-8 Harrier vertical/short-takeoff ground attack single-engine fighter aircraft, the first operational V/STOL aircraft. Originally an Anglo-American development and later by McDonnell-Douglas, then Boeing/BAE Systems, the Harrier had its combat debut in the 1991 Gulf War.
Visiting BFI was this US Marine Corps F/A-18D of the VMFAT-101 squadron based in San Diego. Notice the backseater giving the "hang loose" sign. Semper Fi!
The aircraft on display carries the unit identification of Marine Fighter Squadron 115 (VMFA 115). In 2011, the squadron was based at Marine Corps Air Station Beauford. Before going on display the aircraft was assigned to Marine Fighter Squadron 122 (VMFA 122) The aircraft suffered a catastrophic right engine fire resulting in damage beyond repair.
Flight Lieutenant Jonny Dowen puts the Typhoon through its paces during public display authorisation for his solo display. The immense power and maneuverability of the aircraft are shown to great effect. Very impressive.

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 The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.
A USAF F35 Lightning II performing during the Lightning demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was an awesome demo, it was cut short however due to technical problems. A warning light came on and the pilot had to land. That said she put on a good show, didn't hold back, and she nearly broke the sound barrier.
Val-Halla, a restored P51 Mustang, flying at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was supposed to be taking part in the USAF Heritage Flyover alongside the F35 Lightning II but the F35 hand to land due to technical problems so Val-Halla flew on it's own while the RCAF Snowbirds prepared for their performance. Val-Halla was named for both it's pilots Bill Anders wife Valerie and for the Black Knights P51 squadron that was stationed at Keflavik, Iceland during the Cold War.
I found this on my first day in Armenia - and immediately thought of Ray.
It's placed between a Russian tank and a Russian lorry, right next to a huge Mother Armenia statue that replaced a Stalin statue when he was no longer flavour of the day.
She overlooks Yerevan holding a massive sword. Personally, I don't find her all that inviting...
The Avia BH-3 was a fighter plane built in Czechoslovakia in 1921 and made its first flight in 1921. After favourable trials in June 1921, ten aircrafts were ordered by the Czechoslovakian Air Force and entered service under the military designation B.3. in 1923.
Only 14 were built and cancelled in 1927.

Although not completely original, it's still quite a rare sight to see what looks like a MItsubishi Zero Fighter fly. BANZAI!!! This wasn't part of the flying portion of the airshow and this plane was just on static display. Luckily, we caught it early in the morning flying above us and I was able to quickly switch on the camera and snap this guy.
The memorial is an original artwork designed by noted sculptors Eugene Daub and Louis Quaintance for the USS San Diego (CL-53) Memorial Association, which has donated it to the Port District for the benefit of the people of San Diego. A fortunate and well-run ship, the San Diego steamed over 300,000 nautical miles, engaged the enemy on 34 different occasions, and never lost a man. She earned 18 battle stars for her World War II service
I enjoyed a visit to the Museum of Flight in 2008. I reworked this one with updated software and I really like the results.
