CF-18 Hornet in Centennial Colours

[Canuck[_10_]]

From 2009. This is a CF-18 Hornet painted up for the Centennial of Powered
Flight in Canada. They did an outstanding job on this aircraft. I just wish
it wasn't so overcast when I took this image.

Enjoy!

To me, the clouds give a considerable lift to the photograph. On the other
hand, I'd have been tempted to remove the laundry before taking the picture.

I believe that might be the pilot's G-gear.

Here is a snap of, I think, the same aircraft taken in July at the Hamilton
air show.

Cheers,

Correction: I just looked again at Glenn's photo, and it's not the same
aircraft. Spiffy paint job, though.

To me, the clouds give a considerable lift to the photograph. On the other
hand, I'd have been tempted to remove the laundry before taking the picture.

He/he! Yes, I was tempted as well but the laundry was out of reach! N.
