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.

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.

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

Cheers
