Some lucky #ForcedPerspective from the #CIAS2026 made me giggle.

A cormorant tries to take on pilot Mike Tryggvason in his Edge 540 V3 racer aircraft.

$A black and white image of a bird and a plane in silhouette against a cloudy sky. The bird (a cormorant) and the plane (the Edge 540 V3 racer aircraft) are flying in parallel across the frame from right to left. They appear to be of comparable size and wingspan due to the forced perspective of the shot. The cormorant is leading, but with the Edge 540's top speed of 240knots it was only for the fractions of a second when this image was captured.$

The Royal Canadian Air Force Heritage Flight formation makes a sneak pass above the crowd as it heads out over Lake Ontario.

An image of four planes in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft are moving from the top left of the frame towards the lower right. At the bottom right corner, the brilliant sun is shooting out blinding rays of light. A line of circular and semi-circular lens flares runs across the screen nearly in parallel with the flight path of the planes.

There are green leafy tree branches encroaching on the frame slightly at the top left and more significantly at the top right. The tree on the right continues down the right side of the frame until it partially blocks the sun.

The three planes at the front are the historical RCAF aircraft the Hurricane Hawker, Supermarine Spitfire, (both WWII era) and the CT-114 Tutor (the trainer jet from the 1960s through 2000 and the airframes of The Snowbirds until retirement this year). The larger aircraft following is a CF-18 Hornet which has been the primary fighter aircraft for The Canadian Forces since 1982.

The Toronto DVP wishes its bumper-to-bumper traffic moved this smoothly.

Monday, Sept. 7, 2026 Canadian International Air Show.

An aerial shot of nine Canadian Forces Snowbirds flying in a precise, tightly packed "Big Wedge" formation in a steep downward dive against a clear blue sky. The sleek red, white, and blue CT-114 Tutor jets point toward the bottom right corner of the frame, emphasizing their dramatic descent. Their iconic paint schemes—featuring bold red wings and bellies, accented by sharp white and blue stripes—pop brilliantly against the bright backdrop. On each tail fin, a large, distinct black number indicates its position in the squadron (including jets 2, 5, 6, and 8 clearly visible), accompanied by a small Canadian maple leaf flag. The jets fly in an exceptionally close, tiered arrangement with less than two meters of separation, moving flawlessly as a single cohesive unit.

Caught this local aviator fueling up at the premium nectar station during a brief airspace clearance. Zero jet lag, 100% natural aerodynamics. ✈️🦋😏🤙🍁🪶

A Monarch butterfly perches vertically on a dense branch of yellow Canada goldenrod flowers, showing off its striking orange and black wings. It is completely ignoring the CIAS airshow happening overhead in the blue sky, firmly believing that its own personal aerodynamic maneuvers are far superior to any fighter jet.

When the GPS in your 1940s Beechcraft 18 updates 80 years too late and drops you right in the middle of modern-day Toronto. 😏🤙🍁

A close-up, dramatic telephoto photograph shows a vintage military aircraft flying dangerously close to the main pod of the CN Tower in Toronto, appearing to slice through the structure.The silver twin-engine aircraft, a historic Beechcraft 18 bearing Royal Canadian Air Force roundels, is angled downward as it flies directly in front of the tower's lower observation deck. A thick, realistic plume of smoke or explosion effects appears to erupt right where the airplane’s fuselage meets the concrete structure, creating the illusion of a catastrophic mid-air impact.In the background, the iconic concrete and glass observation levels of the tower are highly detailed under bright daylight, with a few tiny silhouettes of people visible on the EdgeWalk platform above. The overall composition mimics a high-stakes action movie stunt or a perfectly timed optical illusion from an airshow performance.

Sorry to bother the Toronto skyline, but the Jack Aces just gave us the loudest, most majestic 3-car pileup in the sky. Pure horsepower over Lake Ontario! 🙌

🦾🦾🪖🍁

Three historic World War II P-51 Mustang fighter planes bank hard across a bright blue sky, flying in a formation tighter than a Tim Hortons drive-thru lineup on a Monday morning. The lead plane sports a bright yellow nose, while the trailing aircraft showcase classic black-and-white invasion stripes on polished silver wings. It is pure aviation mastery, though arguably slightly less aggressive than a nesting Canada goose protecting its territory.

Shoutout to the Empire Sandy out there just raw-dogging the 21st century while literal fighter jets tear through the clouds directly above them. 🫡💨😏🤙🪶🍁

Crisp blue waters of Lake Ontario under a bright sky. In the foreground, a giant white tall ship dominates the scene with three towering masts and billowing sails, giving off major "unannounced 18th-century naval invasion" vibes. Off to the left, a regular modern sailboat looks like a tiny, defenseless plastic toy by comparison.

Here are my photos from the air show yesterday.
I am very happy with them, they all came out great.
