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.

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 The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.
I was out taking some pictures today and these 3 planes flew overhead. Can anyone confirm what they are?
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.

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.
On April 30,1975 during the evacuation of South Vietnam, a South Vietnamese Major was desperate to save himself and his family. He took off in this exact Bird Dog with his wife & five children and headed out to sea. Without sufficient fuel to return he managed to locate the USS Midway and dropped a hand-written note requesting the helicopters be moved from the landing deck. Incredibly he managed a perfect landing.

If you were a Japanese Pilot over China in the early days of WWII, this was the last sight you wanted to see.

Tis plane's exterior is painted with the markings of the P-51 flown by Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Bob Friend in WW2. This was the all-Black fighter squardron. Perhaps Bob's girlfriend was named Bunny and that is the reason for the nose art.

Singled out by the Allied forces after the Great War, as the greatest fighter plane in the conflict, and subjected to special attention and research. The Fokker DVII came late but gained a fearsome reputation in air combat in the hands of German aces of favoured Jastas. This example is painted in the colours attributed to Hermann Goering who became an ace pilot at the time.
Captured at Thorpe Park in the early days of this enterprise.
Camera: Olympus Pen F Half Frame SLR.
Re-worked in black and white.
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.
Done with watercolors, pen and paint marker.

Jaguar
This particular plane is Sepecat Jaguar XZ118.
First flight in 1976, decommissioned in 2006.
The SEPECAT Jaguar is an Anglo-French jet ground attack aircraft, used by the RAF until 2007.
Led by 88th Squadron Commander Major Abdullah al Ghamdi, the Saudi Hawks are one of the most distinguished and well-loved regional aerobatic teams. Flying British-made Hawk Mk65 smoke-capable jets proudly bearing the RSAF green and white 'coat of arms', the Saudi Hawks' breath-taking performances have been a regular feature of the Al Ain Aerobatic Show for many years, with a fresh take and a brand new set of manoeuvres each season.
The combination of intensive training, constant reinvention and unflinching determination won the Saudi Hawks an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest ever aerial drawing. The majestic manouevre, dubbed the 'emblem move', resulted in a smoke drawing of the Saudi emblem, consisting of two swords crossed over a palm tree, and took two years to perfect.
"We bring something new to Al Ain every year," said Al Ghamdi. "We create and rehearse fof six months ahead of the display season to surprise the public with every one of our performances."
