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 thumbs up from Smash 52 awaiting take off clearance at RAF Waddington during Cobra Warrior. Aircraft was part of a 4 ship of Royal Saudi Air Force aircraft.
Now I'm not particularly fond of fighter planes and generally avoid looking too closely at them. However, a few classics do need to be recorded. Here is an Avro Canada CF-100 fighter jet in the Canadian Aviation Museum. The Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck (affectionately known as the "Clunk") was a Canadian jet interceptor/fighter serving during the Cold War both in NATO bases in Europe and as part of NORAD. The CF-100 was the only Canadian-designed fighter to enter mass production, serving primarily with the RCAF/CAF and in small numbers in Belgium. For its day, the CF-100 featured a short takeoff run and high climb rate, making it well suited to its role as an interceptor. (Ottawa, Canada, June 2015)

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.

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 The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.

The pilots of three F/A18 Superhornets head for dinner while their planes are refueled at North Platte, NE.
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.
The Crusader was the Navy's first supersonic jet fighter and was effective against enemy MiGs during the Vietnam War.

I was out taking some pictures today and these 3 planes flew overhead. Can anyone confirm what they are?
A restored USAF P38 Lightning from WWII flying during the Warbirds demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It flew alongside an F4U Corsair and a P51 Mustang.

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.
