F86's and Strikemaster's, what more do you need Hornet's are fine, I just don't much like modern-ish aircraft
I know very little about planes but I know that you take great pics of them!The formation stuff is so damn impressive - how do they not smash each other up all the time? Surely they start off being not so bloody clever at it and have to practise

They aren't doing the Dayton Air Show this year..but that show has a financial crunch.The year I was there the Snowbirds and the Thunderbirds were the star of the show.Those first and second generation jets have a soul and character that the current generation can't match

That false canopy was a Canadian innovation for their CF-18s,and so initially successful in confusing observers that it was adopted by some other air forces flying the Hornet.
