The Sandman and the F-15Cs from 173rd Fighter Wing are understood to have been fully retired at the time of this post.
#tmcbphoto2025top10aviation #5: F-15C Sandman: Tail number 78-0543 was based at the 173rd Fighter Wing in Kingsley Field, Oregon. While this unit had wowed attendees at Airshow London the last couple years, this year would be their final hoorah as the F-15Cs are retired from service. The Fighter Wing sent 2 F-15s this year, one D model and one C model for static display. However, on arrival day, they gave us all a nice show working the pattern. The Sandman paint honours David Kingsley, who's B-17 in June 1944 was riddled by enemy flak. Kingsley gave the order to bail, but realised one of his injured men was missing a parachute. Kingsley removed his own parachute for his crewmate and helped the man out of the aircraft. Moments later, the B-17 crashed, but the crew that bailed survived. Kingsley was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on April 9, 1945. The Sandman stenciled on the nose of the F-15C is a reference to the B-17 Kingsley flew on that day. When the F-15C landed in London, Ontario, it had less than 20 flight hours remaining on its airframe. This would be its final airshow. The Sandman was one of the prominent highlights of the static display at Airshow London this year.

Antonov aircraft have a knack for drawing huge crowds at the airport every time one comes around. It was wonderful to be able to finally catch a new type in the air, and to really hear the engines roar as it effortlessly climbed over our heads.
#tmcbphoto2025top10aviation #7: AN-124 Ruslan: The largest plane of this series, there was a small window in Spring of this year where an Antonov Airlines AN-124 Ruslan made its way to Toronto. While I was not able to catch its arrival, I was able to make a quick stop to catch its departure. While I had photographed the AN-225 Mriya several years back when it made its second visit to Toronto during the pandemic delivering PPE, I had never had a chance to photograph an AN-124 in the air, until this moment. In 2022, Antonov Airlines created nose art on several of their aircraft, named after cities that had been attacked by Russia. This particular aircraft was one of them, and was named Be Brave Like Mykolaiv. Antonov aircraft have a knack for drawing huge crowds at the airport every time one comes around.

That was, until Airshow London 2025 came to the rescue and VRC-40 Rawhides sent 162167-54 to the show. On a very windy day, the Greyhound beat up the pattern with multiple gear up, gear down passes over us, and gave us a proper greeting. I was satisfied!
