There were two of these CF18s taking off today from CFB Trenton. I missed the first one (yes, they are fast!!), but got this shot of the second one.

Thanks for looking, etc.:)
I had the opportunity last weekend of watching a performance of the Snowbirds, which is the Royal Canadian Air Force's aerobatic demonstration team. It was an interesting experience trying to capture objects that move so much faster than most of my regular subjects.
I haven't had much opportunity to shoot birds-in-flight with my 150-600mm lens. I did get this bigger bird yesterday, though!
It's one of our (Canada's) RCAF Hercules on a regular training flight.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)
Another shot of one of 'our' Hercules aircraft, and I was fortunate to have an interesting sky this time.

c/n 1643 - built in 2015 for Kuwait Airways -
to the RCAF in 2024 - conv. to CC-330 (curr. still in passenger config - will become a MRTT)
The RCAF is acquiring a new fleet of aircraft to replace the CC-150 Polaris. Known as the CC-330 Husky, this new fleet will be comprised of nine aircraft (a mix of four new and five used A330-200), and will conduct multiple tasks such as in-flight refuelling of other aircraft, military personnel and cargo airlift, medical evacuations, and strategic transport of Government of Canada officials.
Yes, another one!
I am very happy with the support I have received for my military aircraft photos. Thank you!
These venerable Hercules have a wonderful sound, and when they fly close to the ground (such as this, coming in for a landing), the wind turbulence is something else!

The nose gear is just tucking away and the propellers are trailing tip vortices in the cool morning air. Passing overhead at 32,000 feet was an easyJet A319 bound for Prague out of Liverpool.
