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.

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!

Lockheed CC-130H(T) Hercules 130341 of the Royal Canadian Air Force climbing out of RAF Waddington to support the first sortie of the day during Exercise Cobra Warrior 25-2. 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.
At the BC Aviation Museum at Victoria's Airport. I believe the restoration by the dedicated volunteers is complete. She looks great. This particular aircraft was produced in 1962 and based at RCAF Cold Lake, Alberta. It was removed from service in 1983 and was donated to the museum in 2023. The iconic Starfighter was the first aircraft to simultaneously hold world records for speed, altitude, and time-to-climb. A beautiful aircraft and so pleasing to the eyes.
