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.

Both planes are de-commissioned fighter planes.
The Jaguar has been polished, the Harrier painted with feathers.
Sea Harrier.
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 The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.
I went to the Auckland War Memorial Museum and explored the natural history museum, tons of beautiful Māori art, and the World War I and II memorials. They'd set up an entire Mitsubishi Zero fighter plane, and it was incredible to see one up-front.
Vought F4U Corsair, aircraft carrier variant. The wings fold up for storage, as can be seen by the left wing's position. The last time I had gone there both wings were extended. Museu TAM da Aviação, São Carlos, SP. Galaxy Note II, in-phone HDR (a non-HDR pic was out of the question. My trusty G15 got really hammered by the absurd dynamic range of this shot).
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.

I took this pic of a P-40 Warhawk at Airventure 2009 in Oshkosh Wisconsin, then did some after effects in Photoshop when I got home to make it more dramatic - might make for a cool poster you think?

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.
One of two USAF F-15 Eagles that took part in the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow on the static display. Another aircraft that has stood the test of time. The Eagle first flew back in 1972 and it's flying with various air forces around the world and it's still in production with new variants. Some say it's the greatest fighter plane of all time and I say it's worthy of that title.
Okay yes I messed about with this, buti t makes it more dramatic, no? Actually I just pressed 'one step fix' in paint shop pro.
Really these guys are incredible. I want to marry one.
