I use to work on those planes when I was in NS. I thought they were scrap the whole line since they got too old? Oh, they were models? LOL

the Hunters were retired with a lot of airframe hours left since they were upgraded to F.74 and T.75 standards. many were purchased by an Australian based company called Pacific Hunter Associates (or something like that), and lots of them are still in proper storage in NSW. Some have been restored to flight status. The T.75 models being tandem seaters are highly sought after as tourist attraction, they fly people up and down the NSW/Queensland coast for joyrides.
The Super Skyhawks were recently retired, but sure what have become of them.
well, the planes you see in the pictures are real, the sky is real, the plane in relation to the sky is also real ;@)

So the Australian company kept/maintained the original paint job and markings? Or is SAF still flying a few of these grand old ladies for old time's sake? I.e. where did you take these pictures?

vinz, the ones in storage still have their original paints and markings, although rather dusty, but the airframes are in good condition. all you need is A$50K ;@)
RSAF no longer fly the Hunter, and only some A-4SU remains at the Cazaux advanced jet training base in France. I took these picture at the Air Force Museum outside Paya Lebar Airbase
some people are convinced these are scaled models, you don't think so?

I used to build scale models... these don't look like scale models. Unless they are Master Grade 1:1 scale models with realistic mechanical arts. :-p
I understand now. And what "Photoshopping" you did. You should add the mirage effect behind the jet of the A4SU.
Initially, I thought you were taking the shot from another jet flying in close formation with the subject. Then I was wondering... how come no mirage effect behind the jet?

the engine glow is not always present. I recall an F5 I took last year during take off and it didn't have exhaust glow. the F16 of course has an impressive glow.
these two were taken during Ex. Torrent VI along LCK road.
taking off at full throttle but no engine glow
red hot engine…

Nice job at removing the pedestal on which the planes are mounted on.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
