The KEM-3a is a high altitude spy plane/fighter.
The extra wing length along with two extra engines (wing mounted) provides better lift at higher altitudes. The extra wings also carry four external, as well as internal, fuel tanks. The to smaller fuel tank are dropped not longer after take off (they are used for the large amounts of fuel burned during take off and are not refillable by air). The larger tanks are refillable by air; they can also dropped but only in emergencies (called the $10,000 fill-up) and the pilot will be fined for doing so; when dropped the tanks could be used as ballast-release, missile aversion decoys (by remote detonation) or as bombs (BUT highly suggested not to drop unless in EXTREME emergency).
The extra wings can also be drop in exteme emergencies (called the $100,000 life insurance), but no penalties will be given unless the pilot was found negligent after an investigation {yay military polices}
It is possible for the -3a to carry the same armaments as the -3, but is suggested not to, in the case of overload and engine stress causing failures.
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.
A US Navy E/A18G Growler flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.

Indian Air Force planes heading towards Marina Beach for the air show.
Shot this from my terrace. I couldn't have asked for more. The antenna is of my neighbour.
I had already seen the IAF show @ Nariman Point, Mumbai, 2004. It was awesome, thats why didn't want to go for this show in Chennai today.
Two days of flying spits with the great folkds at Aero Legends, day one out of Sywell, and day two out of Headcorn Aerodrome near Kent.
Day 1: First flight was taken out of Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire.
Amazing time flying in drop dead gorgeous Spitfire, for aerobatics, turn at controls, close formation flying with second Spitfire (see pics of second Spitfire from cockpit stills) wheeling over fields and towns of English countryside, under blue skies and broken cloud, with climax of side by side pass down the runway, peeling off, stood up on wingtip, to each side at end, and close formation with T6 for air to air photography.
Pilot is the exemplary 30-year RAF veteran, RAF instructor and great gentleman Flt Lt Charlie Brown, who has 1000+ hours in Spitfires.
Day 2: Amazing time flying in the drop dead gorgeous Spitfire "Elizabeth", for a flight from Headcorn to the Channel coast at Dover, over the RAF memorial, then along white cliffs of Dover in both directions. This was followed by an exhilarating full Spitfire Aerobatics Airshow Routine inland (pilot noted first time he's done with passenger), and then a celebratory Victory Roll over Headcorn Aerodrome.
Pilot was the legendary Flt Lt Antony 'Parky' Parkinson MBE, flying Spitfire Mk IXT NH341 ‘Elizabeth’. Parky was awarded MBE for his work on the Battle of Britain Memorial flights, was a pilot for the Red Arrows, and flew the Euro Fighter Typhoon, F4, Tornado F3, amongst others. Great guy, amazing pilot.
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 restored USAF P51 Mustang from WWII flying during the Warbirds demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It flew alongside an F4U Corsair and a P38 Lightning .
