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.

Kind of a favourite of mine. Not the typical snow birds this time ;) The heat from engines and the summery airshow reminds me of the warm days to come :)

When I began to process this image I thought, oh no! What was that artifact on the second Hercules?
It turns out that it was the heat waves from the leading Herc which was the cause.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)

Quand j'ai commencé à traiter cette image, j'ai pensé, oh non! Quel était cet artefact sur le second Hercule?
Il s'avère que ce sont les vagues de chaleur du premier Herc qui en sont la cause.
Merci d'avoir regardé, etc. :)

C-GRSB/FZ692 - Douglas DC-3C-A1C3G (C-47A / CC-129) - Royal Canadian Air Force (Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum)
at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
The Museum's Dakota was built for the USAAF and was delivered to the Royal Air Force in February 1944 as FZ692 and the Royal Canadian Air Force 437 Squadron in September 1944. It was later renumbered as 12945 as part of the Canadian Armed Forces where it served with No. 424 Squadron for Search & Rescue at CFB Trenton. It performed JATO ignition in flight at the 1970 Canadian National Exhibition Air Show on the Toronto waterfront.
After it was struck off strength by the Canadian Armed Forces in 1973, the aircraft ended up with Environment Canada, where it was used for mineral and environmental surveys. C-GRSB was donated to the Museum in May 2014.
FZ692 has been restored to the paint scheme it would have worn at the end of World War II with 437 Squadron RCAF. FZ692 flew 208 operational trips with 437 Squadron and 16 with 233 Squadron for a total of 224. It ended up flying hundreds of individual legs between airfields in Europe. FZ692 participated in two major airborne operations, Normandy and the Rhine Crossing. It carried 298 casualties to medical aid and repatriated 456 prisoners of war. It carried over 5,100 passengers to destinations around Europe and carried over two hundred tons of freight (414,368 lbs).
