Red Bull gives you wings... and apparently, a complete disregard for gravity to go with it!

Aaron Fitzgerald pulls the Bo-105 helicopter vertical and beyond to complete a backflip. Aerobatic shows are challenging enough to photograph but adding rotors to the mix makes it especially difficult to get a healthy amount of rotor blur combined with sharp fuselage.

When you absolutely need to blend into a herd of zebras ... at 5000 feet!

Jokes aside, this Antonov An-2 is absolutely gorgeous and it was a delight to see it in the air! The owner of this aircraft sure has put a lot of TLC into this old biplane, even the interior has been luxuriously refurbished.

Photo taken at SUN 'n FUN 2026 in Lakeland, Florida, at 1/60th for the full disk!

Look at you. Climbing. Like gravity is just a choice to you, not a law. That soft v***r wrapping your wings like a delicate silk scarf and those afrerburners - god, you are practically bleeding fire.
You are putting on quite a show, even though deep down you are actually terrified of being seen. Every blended curve and jagged panel line on that airframe is meant to keep you hidden. Ok, I'll bite - who are you actually hiding from? Because we at the airshow love to see You.

Scott Farnsworth's L-39C Albatros sits quietly on the tarmac while night airshow performers pull orbits and loops overhead, launching pyrotechnics strapped to their aircraft.

This image is a composite of 22 individual images taken from a tripod, capturing the maneuvers overhead and lightpainting the aircraft itself with my flashlight piece by piece. Individual frames were later processed in Lightroom and blended in Photoshop. The edit reveal shows one of those 22 images before Lightroom processing.

A member of the Patriot Parachute Team descends towards the surface with a First Responders Flag in tow. Doing so just mere minutes before the sunset, almost passing the setting sun and with dramatic skies gave the whole scene an eerie atmosphere, reminding me the HALO jump scene from the 2014 movie Godzilla.

F-22 Raptor with the afterburners lit, speeds down the runway of Lakeland Airport towards the Sunset in the beginning of twilight airshow portion at SUN 'n FUN 2026.

At the helm of the fighter is the current commander and pilot of the USAF F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team - capt Nicholas "Laz" Le Tourneau.

Having the Raptor perform at the SUN 'n FUN each day (and sometimes even twice) was awesome, but the light at those twilight shows can not be beat!

During my 4th time at SUN 'n FUN I finally managed to get down to the Paradise Field Bushwheel camp to watch and photograph the STOL Demo.

It is awesome to see planes take off and land in only a few meters! The competition can get quite dramatic at times when planes approach the landing line in unusual pitch or bank angles.

The pilot of this Legend Aircraft MOAC (Mother of all Cubs), registered N513KS and nicknamed "High Strung" performed one of the more spectacular approaches of the day.
