Bombardier Global 5500 Serial 60065 undergoes flight tests while still in primer before being painted and delivered to its customer. This plane would eventually become N311RR, one of hundreds of Bombardier Private Jets operating in the United States today.

I have learned that the Typhoon has flown 1,000,000 flight hours as of today. So for #fighterfriday, what better than a dump of Typhoon pictures? Here are some of my favourite catches of the years, starting with this 9-ship in the 2018 RIAT display.

#throwbackthursday to when the Patrouille De France visited Aero150 on a very wet April day in Gatineau, Quebec. You can see the rain pouring in this takeoff. Still to this date one of the coldest airshows I have ever attended.

A NAV CANADA Dash 8-100 flies with gear down over Aéroport Exécutif Gatineau-Ottawa during the 2018 Aero Gatineau-Ottawa airshow. The NAV CANADA flight inspection fleet has since upgraded to a CRJ-200, but sports a very similar paint.

This weekend, I finished my collection of pictures from Aero Gatineau-Ottawa 2025. I took pictures of the twilight display and statics, and will share some of my favourites from the show in this thread, starting with the Beech 3NM "Canadian Queen" departing the runway.

The Waterloo Warbirds CT-133 Silver Star "Mako Shark" launches from #YHM after the RCAF100 weekend at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. In my opinion one of the prettiest CT-133s out there!

Mike Terfehr taxis out his MiG-17F 1613 at Aero Gatineau-Ottawa 2025 as the sun sets. The setting sky illuminates the jet, while the forest in the background is deep in the shadows, resulting in a nice contrasting image.

A Finnish Air Force F/A-18C Hornet in some neat late afternoon lighting at the 2018 edition of the Royal International Air Tattoo. The nose of the jet is pointed almost directly at the sun, resulting in some dynamic shadows and highlights across the front and belly of the jet.

Royal Australian Navy P-8A Poseidon showing its weapons bay as part of an Australian Defence Force showcase at the Australian International Air Show. It won't be long before Canada begins to take delivery of these same jets, joining the rest of the Five Eyes in owning the type.

A view of RCAF CH-146 Griffon 146465 in the Ottawa area approaching the Golden Hour last summer. The Griffon has a very distinct sound to it. This Griffon is painted in the typical forest camo of the RCAF fleet.

I have learned that yesterday was the final day of Danish F-16 operations, as the jets have now been retired after 46 years of service. Continuing the mission in its place will be the Danish F-35A. Pictured, the time I managed to see a Danish F-16AM on static at RIAT. This one is E-018.

Chrono Aviation PC-12 C-GICR on the hot ramp at Aéroport exécutif Gatineau-Ottawa, after concluding a flying display at Aero Gatineau-Ottawa 2025. I can't think of many other PC-12s that come in this all black paint, but I like it!

Did you know the C-17 Globemaster III can deploy its reverse thrusters in air? It can be used in this way for rapid descent, such as how this USAF C-17 based at Edwards AFB demonstrated in the 2022 Aerospace Valley Airshow.

It's a new year, which means exciting things ahead. The RCAF takes more deliveries, I have more photos to go through of previous years, and some website updates to make some standout galleries more accessible. What are you most looking forward to this year?

#1: Flare Dump Surprise: This year's best moment took place at the Canadian International Air Show. The USAF F-35A Demo Team will bring flares to shows on American Bases and in Canada, shows over water. Toronto is one of those shows that gets the flares.

#HonourableMention: Snowbirds Tornado: Got to give a shoutout to the RCAF Snowbirds and their tornado formation this year. Performed at many airshows, they even did so in twilight demonstrations, like this one beautifully executed at Aero Gatineau-Ottawa.
