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.
Fokker DR.1 1 Introduced over the western front in August 1917, the Fokker Triplane soon became the favorite plane of Germany's greatest WWI ace, Baron Manfred von Richthofen
from the archives... this is at the Bangalore Aero Show at Yelahanka Air Force Base.
I'm not sure what aircraft this is...
As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
Flight of Icarus - Iron Maiden
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.
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.
