Photographed at the 2022 Kaneohe Bay Airshow, this was a rare opportunity to photograph a flight-worthy Hunter. Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) operates 20 Hunters as part of their dissimilar air combat training fleet, contracting with the US military. Five ATAC Hunters have been lost in accidents over the last decade. Originally designed as a British air superiority fighter in the 1950’s, the Hunter went on to become the most successful post-war English military aircraft with almost 2,000 being produced. With classic flowing lines, many agree that this is one of the most beautiful fighter aircraft designs ever.
