Another perspective from an unforgettable week in Lakeland — a place where aviation becomes more than just a passion. From sunrise arrivals to the final moments of the night airshow, every day at SUN ‘n FUN delivered something spectacular both in the sky and on the ground.
The first part of my photo coverage from one of the biggest and most atmospheric aviation events in the world. Lakeland once again turned into a place where aviation owned the skies all day long — and well after sunset. The roar of jet engines, the smell of aviation fuel, and thousands of people looking up created an atmosphere unlike any other airshow.
The third and final set of photos from this year's World Defence Show, held in Riyadh.I highly recommend checking out the first part, where I described in detail what was flying and how.
Another set of photos from our second photographer, a slightly different perspective, the same energy.
This year's World Defense Show in Riyadh (February 8-12, 2026) delivered a solid dose of aviation excitement. There were fewer flying displays than in previous editions, but those that took place were top-notch. Here's a subjective summary of what happened in the skies over Malham.

The fourth and final set from the show that took place on the beach in Miami. An extraordinary location and extraordinary machines :)
Did we expect such a spectacle... YES!! Was it worth it... see for yourselves ;)
Yes, this show will stay in our minds for a long time... it raised the bar a little higher and pushes us to chase after something "even better/different".
One of the most spectacular shows we've ever attended... fire, the smell of kerosene, and needless to say, probably some of the best aircraft in the world.
The Brunswick Air Show 2025, held on the grounds of the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, was a true celebration of power and precision. The main stars of the show were the legendary U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron and the F-22 Raptor.

Miramar is an annual event organized by the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California. It is certainly one of the must-attend events for aviation fans. Although the displays are short, they are very intense, especially the MAGTF (Marine Air-Ground Task Force) demonstration. Miramar was the first base of the famous Top Gun school. Most of the scenes from that iconic film were created here. Of course, every year the event is graced by the Blue Angels team in their F/A-18 Super Hornets. fot: Zbigniew Chalota
