Air Canada A220 in the TCA Trans Canada Airlines Retro Livery on final approach to YYZ. The retro paint looks great on the former CSeries jet!

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.

And lastly, this Italian Air Force Typhoon in 2018 climbing while create vapes with full after burner at the Royal International Air Tattoo rounds out this short thread of Typhoons. Have you seen a Typhoon? Where was your favourite moment with one?

In 2024, the RAF Typhoon Display Team made an Atlantic hop to Spectacle Aérien International de Bagotville and demonstrated its all-weather capabilities in this very wet display. Just look at that spray on the runway on a landing!

The Royal Air Force sent 22 Typhoons to create this 100 for the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force in 2018 over Buckingham Palace.

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.

A RSAF F-15SG sits on static display at the 2023 Australian International Air Show. The Republic of Singapore Air Force operate a fleet of 40 of these jets, a variant of the Strike Eagle.

How about a #mustangmonday post? Pictured, P-51D Mustang "Cheryl Lynn" climbs over Lake Ontario during the 2025 edition of the Canadian International Air Show.

This thread concludes with some of the statics that were on display, including the first appearance of a CT-102B Astra II at a Canadian air show.

The evening display concluded with a drone show that transitioned to fireworks by Groupe Royal Pyro. I am getting better at capturing these, as they really allow for some creative images.
January 25, 2026 at 3:42 PM
The next act was on the ground, and the Boneshaker Jet Truck accelerated as one would expect with the same engine you'd find in an F-4 Phantom fighter jet. Lots of flame, speed, and fun.

Remember that CF-18 that went to Hamilton for the flypast? Well, it came back while the show was still running and conducted a sneak pass that startled many. Well done! By this point, lights were turning on at the airport with the darkening conditions.
January 25, 2026 at 3:37 PM
Then, my first warbird twilight display - Louis Horschel's FG-1D Corsair took off after the sun had set and conducting a full aerobatic display.
January 25, 2026 at 3:35 PM
Up next? More afterburner! Mike Terfehr and his MiG-17F 1613 from Fighter Jets Inc. took to the skies showcasing one of the very first afterburning jets and let 'er rip. The MiG sliced through the dynamic sky, with the variations in clouds revealing turbulence caused by the jet.
January 25, 2026 at 3:33 PM
The RCAF Snowbirds were next on the list, and I feel they had the best sky of the night. Flying through sundogs, their darkened smoke with fading blues and increasingly vibrant oranges off to the side made for some truly unique images.
January 25, 2026 at 3:30 PM
After the PC-12s, a RCAF CF-18 scrambled from the static display to perform a flypast over Hamilton that was occurring on the same night. After takeoff, we were treated to a nice afterburner flypast as the jet was positioned towards the Southwest.
January 25, 2026 at 3:24 PM
The next act in the display was a pair of Chrono Aviation PC-12s in their all black paint scheme. Aero Gatineau-Ottawa is a show that I like to describe featuring an eclectic mix of aviation, and there's nowhere else I can think of in Canada that might feature a display of two PC-12s.

The jump for the Skyhawks was performed on a C-130J Hercules, which landed and became a static display aircraft after the jump. The landing of the Hercules marked the first shift in colouring of the sky, as golden hour was beginning.
January 25, 2026 at 3:20 PM
Following this performance, the twilight show officially began. The Skyhawks opened the show with a modified performance, with Gen. Jennie Carnigan, the Chief of the Defence Staff participating in the jump.
January 25, 2026 at 3:18 PM
After they touched down, Trevor Rafferty went up in his borrowed Christen Eagle for an aerobatic display. Trevor likes to finish his routine with a knife edge pass low along the runway, and the show venue's forested background makes the knife edge look dramatic.
January 25, 2026 at 3:13 PM
I arrived a little early for the twilight show, where the GERONIMO skydiving team was performing a practice. They have a superhero show where the skydivers dress as famous superheroes, such as Spiderman pictured.
January 25, 2026 at 3:11 PM
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!
