Every once in a while, it does the soul good to plant your feet on the ground, stare at the skies, and watch airplanes do their thing.

I did just that yesterday, hanging out on the tarmac of London International Airport with a camera in my hand. Which is my way of warning you we may be a bit heavy on aviation photos over the next little while.

This one's of an @rcaf_arc #CF18 dancing among the clouds. The airframe may have been in Canadian service for nearly 40 years, but she showed she still has moves, and can still inspire the rest of us.

I said a quiet thanks for their continued ability to protect our skies, but the afterburner drowned me out.
