My favorite pass of the trip. So glad I caught it on video. Keeping it low.

Hello all! This is a more official introduction post to the person behind the camera. My name is Tori Mae. I’m currently based in North Texas, but have had the opportunity to live and travel all over the US. I grew up next to Kennedy Space Center which gave me my love for science, technology and flight. Growing up and watching space shuttle launches from my front porch was always a delight. I still make it back for visits as it will always have a special place in my heart.

A fun fact about me, I was previously a professional whale watcher. By that I mean that I spent the summers working on whale watching boats out of SE Alaska. I have a Bachelors degree in Anthropology and Environmental Science and I’m currently working on my Masters degree in Emergency Management. I am a dog mom to an Aussie shepherd mix named Laika. by @lensofmae

A jump in the past with some WW1 action during the 2026 Jesolo Airshow and these gems from the Jonathan Collection 🇮🇹
These gorgeous birds are replicas of the Caproni CA3 bomber and the SPAD XIII fighter built by the legendary Giancarlo Zanardo.
The Caproni is actually the only airworthy full scale replica of the Italian heavy bomber in the world.

Finally. 🇨🇦

Canada’s first F-35A made its maiden flight today in Fort Worth, Texas.

It’s a major milestone in replacing our aging CF-18 fleet.

The first eight Canadian F-35s will remain in the United States through 2026–27, based at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, where Canadian pilots and aircrew will train.

The first F-35s are expected to arrive home at CFB Cold Lake in late 2028.

Initial operational capability: 2029.

After years of debate and delay, Canada’s next-generation fighter is finally flying with the Maple Leaf on it. 🇨🇦✈️ by @lensofmae

Typhoon Demo from the Aeronautica Militare at the Jesolo Air Show! 🇮🇹

Practice Day on Friday brought the vapes to Jesolo Beach! The Typhoon really showed off with their high speed pass.

This trip has been the one of the Typhoon. There’s been no shortage and I love it!

What’s better than an F-35B in STOVL?

An F-35A sneaking in behind with full vapes.

Almost missed this shot, but I caught the A model out of the corner of my eye at the last second.
