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
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 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.

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.

Perfect timing, wrong element to focus on. I chose to follow the 5-plane section of the Red Arrows 5-4 pass. #airshow #redarrows #aviation #jets #aerobatics
5-4 pass 1/5 second before they pass. 9 red Arrows aircraft 5-4 pass as they pass. 5-4 pass 1/5 second after they pass showing the followed element obscured by the smoke from the 4-plane element.
