We all know what happens when vampires get wet.

We got up close-up with this treasure @AirshowLondon, and not even a little sprinkle from Mother Nature was enough to dampen the day.

Fly safe, friends.

Dear sky,

I own you.

Sincerely,

The Snowbirds are flying out their final season in their soon-to-be retired CT-114 Tutor aircraft before standing down for a few years.

I’m going to miss the jets.

Apparently so will he.

I feel like looking at airplanes. It makes me happy, and I think we all need more happies.

Who’s with me?

Use your power wisely.

Make sure you’re heard.

Leave your mark behind.

As a USN Rhino splits the skies over #AirshowLondon, I wonder about the two birds doing lazy orbits in the distance.

Are they scared? Or merely amused. Hard to tell.

It makes me think of shared spaces, and the need to look out for the vulnerable among us.

There’s something delightfully mind-blowing about being in places we normally wouldn’t be allowed.

Like a runway during an air show.

I was lucky to have had the fleeting opportunity to stand in the shadows of giants and simply soak it in.

This B-2A Spirit is easily the most difficult plane I’ve ever shot through glass, as its surfacing sucks light like a black hole.

Given its mission, though, that seems to make sense.

Photographic challenges notwithstanding, it was humbling to watch.

As the world awakes to news that the U.S. has attacked Venezuela and captured its president Nicolas Maduro, I find myself musing about airplanes.

They can either defend a nation’s sovereignty, or be used to take it away.

It all comes down to intent.

Sigh.

The Boeing TC-135W Stratolifter is designed to mimic the RC-135 electronic intelligence planes that the trainees who learn the trade on this bird will eventually fly.

A gorgeous nose to lead the way certainly can’t hurt.

Fly safe, friends.

Burn a whole lot of fossilized dinosaurs.

Punch some holes in the sky.

Loudly.

Angrily.

There are days when you just want to mash the throttles and join your friends in the skies for some death-defying moments.

Bonus points if you make a ton of noise and leave some reality-distorting jelly behind.

Remembering the day the Red Arrows got photobombed by a Dreamliner.

Timing is everything, apparently. In aviation as well as in life.

The RCAF has stood down the CF-18 Demo Team for 2025 as it manages the transition to the F-35A.

So no more planes with wicked paint jobs wowing air shows across the continent.

In the overall scheme of things, not tragic. But they’ll still be missed.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Air Force confirmed that the upcoming air show season would be the last for its A-10C Thunderbolt II Demo Team.

I’ll miss the Warthog. I’ll miss the spirit of those who maintained and flew her even more. Thanks for the brrrt.

Dance among the clouds even when the skies threaten.

Because to not dance at all would be the greater tragedy.

And life isn’t life without some degree of risk.

The RC-135 Rivet Joint isn’t a needle-nosed fighter.

But this unarmed sigint wonder allows those needle-nosed fighters to stay alive in hostile airspace.

I silently wished her safe journey as I clicked the shutter.

A Hawker Sea Fury that came into service shortly after WW2 ended. Still a neat, purposeful looking aircraft. #hawkerseafury #seafury #vintageplane #vintageaircraft #airshowlondon #vintagelens #canon80200mm
