Before Thanksgiving.. after Thanksgiving!

Did you know the CC-130J is longer than the older CC-130H Hercules by over 4 meters? You can really tell the difference in these two side by side images.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Another Nuit Blanche has passed in the city of Toronto, and art could be found through several different regions of the city. I visited four of them. This thread will feature some of my highlights of each region in the 2025 edition of the event.

What a cool looking little aircraft! I have yet to see a purely electric aircraft, but hoping to change that in the near future.

tmcbphoto @tmcbphoto.com · 11d

What would be your favourite experimental aircraft of any type?

tmcbphoto @tmcbphoto.com · 11d

Oooo, experimental is a fun one!

Some of you had mentioned you'd like to see more commercial images, so I will share some more of that going forward.

To start that, here is the Singapore Airlines A380 9V-SKW on final at LHR from SIN airport. This was the second A380 type that I have taken a picture of, the first being Emirates.
