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.
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.
“The Fighter Collection’s Merlin-engined P-40F is one of only two left airworthy anywhere in the world. Manufactured at the Curtiss facility in Buffalo, New York in the autumn of 1942 and allocated Bu No. 41-19841. She was delivered by land to the Stockton In-Transit Depot in California for onward shipment in November, where she was then shipped to the Thirteenth Air Force in the Southwest Pacific on Christmas Eve 1942. Unfortunately her service career remains a mystery, but the only P-40Fs to see combat in the Pacific Theatre were flown by the 44th and the 68th Fighter Squadrons of the 347th Fighter Group in the Solomon Islands from November 1942 to October 1943.”
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.
This is a VF-1C. The "C" Designation is my own. I hand painted a VF-1A to make this new "stealth" version :p. Came out pretty cool in my opinion!
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.
Its unmistakable, even in the thick haze -- those are F-16s on the tarmac, with their sidewinders(heat seeking missiles) still on. The F-16 is one of the most successful fighter planes in the world. It is used in many countries, and had good service records. It is a multi-role fighter, that can also be used for attack missions. This aircraft is manufactured by General Dynamics, and the US military have called it the Falcon.

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.
A macabre image of an American Marine standing amid several Japanese corpses (I count at least eight). A souvenir hunter, he seems to have found himself one of the coveted Japanese katana swords. There are two Japanese machine guns (Type 92 heavy machine guns or "Woodpeckers") in the foreground and background. The fighter plane and oil drum in the background lead me to believe this is a Japanese airstrip taken by the Americans. I have no other info regarding the time or location of this image. Please let me know if you know any further details about this.
