Red Arrows and CF18 Demo aircraft flying in formation. The outer pairs of three jets with red smoke, the inner three trailing white smoke. The CF18 has a large red maple leaf on the bottom. This essentially was drawing a moving Canada Flag through the sky.

The Red Arrows jets trailing red, white and blue smoke while in a turning formation.

Two F16 of the Thunderbirds executing a rilling pass. The close jet is over 90 degrees in the roll the far jet is nearly flat.

11 aircraft of the Frecce Tricolori in black and white. One aircraft is burning off fuel and show smoke.

2024 is the year where I caught three foreign air demonstration teams, the Red Arrows (🇬🇧) for my first time, the Frecce Tricolori (🇮🇹) for the second time and the Thunderbirds (🇺🇸) for the third time. #airshow #thunderbirds #redarrows #freccetricolori #aircraft

Topside pass showing the CF18 demo aircraft in a deep blue and grey scheme

CF18 demo aircraft executing a dirty roll with landing gear down. The bottom of the aircraft is grey with a false canopy in the RCAF Tartan, red wing tips and a red maple leaf with the RCAF 100 logo in it.

2024 marked the last year the #CF18Demo would put on shows. The striking scheme commemorated the 100th anniversary of the RCAF, and the evolving (digital) battle space the Canadian Armed Forces operated in. Taken at Gatineau, Quebec.

a list of upcoming model train shows as found on TrainShows.net

If you're in the US, you'll probably fill up on turkey tomorrow. After that, here's a list of model train shows you can check out instead of heading to the crowded mall.

...and if you're outside the US, there's an open house in Toronto that maybe you can check out.

CW Firearms.

This afternoon my father passed after a year-and-a-half long struggle with his health. He was a police officer for 37 years, and he was also a sport shooter. He taught us how to shoot, and I shared his love of aviation, photography, and the outdoors.
