I was doing some bird editing, so here's a couple takes of some popular winter birds, the Pine Grosbeak and the Bohemian Waxwing - in Ontario, they're both usually birds of the Boreal Forest, but move south in bad crop years. Both love ornamental trees like crabapples, which is how I found these!

It's #fighterfriday and this time I have two different jets to share! It's a hot topic right now, but Canada's currently reviewing its purchase of F-35s and SAAB is making a second pitch for the JAS-39 Gripen E. Which do you like better?

#throwbackthursday to when a USAF C-5M from Dover AFB spiraled through the cloud layer over Airshow London to start some pattern work on arrival! The spiral made for some moody images, such as this one.

Did you know the CC-130J is longer than the older CC-130H Hercules by over 4 meters? You can really tell the difference in these two side by side images.
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

One year ago today, the city of Toronto was one of many locations that was lit up by the Northern Lights. Here are some of my favourite images of that wonderful night.

Another Nuit Blanche has passed in the city of Toronto, and art could be found through several different regions of the city. I visited four of them. This thread will feature some of my highlights of each region in the 2025 edition of the event.

Some of you had mentioned you'd like to see more commercial images, so I will share some more of that going forward.
To start that, here is the Singapore Airlines A380 9V-SKW on final at LHR from SIN airport. This was the second A380 type that I have taken a picture of, the first being Emirates.

Airshow London 2017 featured probably one of the most aggressive takeoffs I've seen a Short Skyvan do - this one full of the Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team, The SkyHawks. The fall colours in the background add a nice touch.

Something I am curious about on here is what kind of aviation images do people like most?
General Aviation? Commercial? Military? All of the above?
I have a catalogue of over 15 years worth of images and am curious which I should prioritise featuring on here next. Pictured, A-10C at sunrise.

A new RCAF CC-295 Kingfisher arrived in Ottawa today from CFB Greenwood, Nova Scotia.
This one was #295513 and I opted to capture a head on view, as I had achieved a side profile of one previously last year.
The Kingfishers are the new Fixed-wing SAR platform for the RCAF.

The MV-22 Osprey breaks right at sunset over the skies of Airshow London this year. I think the Osprey had the best lighting conditions that night, with the perfect clouds behind.
