The TBM Avenger flew a variety of missions during WWII that included torpedo, bombing, anti-submarine warfare.
We thought he was dead. We all saw his bloody, black bird go down, flames licking his neck like Hell’s own wolves finally allowed to bring down the alpha. There were no chutes. None of us used them back then. He wouldn’t have used one anyway. That would be like admitting he could be shot down. To tell you the truth, most of us believed that he couldn’t be. He was too good, uncanny good. Unholy good. Macky was the one who said it, “guy would have to make a deal with the devil to fly like he does!”
When I saw that skeletal nightmare skimming the trees on it’s way back to whatever hole it flew out of after burning three of our boys, a week after we ‘d celebrated his death, I knew…
Macky had been right.

A flyover, probably for the closing ceremonies of the World Police and Fire Games (or the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival), which happens this evening, August 9.

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 replica (albeit a functional, flying replica) of Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen's (AKA the Red Baron) red Fokker Dr.I triplane. The greatest Ace of WWI, he is credited with over 80 enemy fighters shot down. Museu TAM da Aviação, São Carlos, SP. F1.8, 1/30, ISO 80, RAW, G15.
Went to the Greenwood Lake Air Show today. They had a bunch of WWII airplanes on display and I got to practice my panning technique. I think I'm getting better because this one was taken without a tripod.
This is the same type of plane flown by the Black Sheep Squadron.
Hope to get more pics posted later tonight or tomorrow.

A Vought F4U Corsair flying in a demo the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It flew a solo demo later on in the airshow and was fantastic, pilot handled the old warbird well. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.
An Royal Canadian Air Force CF18 Hornet flying during the RCAF's CF18 demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow.
A USAF F35 Lightning II performing during the Lightning demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was an awesome demo, it was cut short however due to technical problems. A warning light came on and the pilot had to land. That said she put on a good show, didn't hold back, and she nearly broke the sound barrier.
The North American Aviation T-6 Texan was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into the 1950s. Designed by North American Aviation, the T-6 is known by a variety of designations depending on the model and operating air force. The USAAC designated it as the "AT-6", the US Navy the "SNJ", and British Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard, the name it is best known by outside of the United States.
My all time favourite plane! I love the sound. When it was ticking over on the run way waiting to leave it sounded like an old Fordson Standard tractor!
