This Sokol was built in 1949 and initially flew for the aeroclub at Bratislava - Vajnory (closed 2006) as OK-DHU. In 1959 it was exported to Germany and based at Konstanz with a private owner as D-ENEV. In 1996 the plane moved to Schärding - Suben (LOLS) and became D-ESOK but is now part of the Classic trainers collection based at LKLN, where it was photographed during the Classic Trainers Hangar 3 Open Day.

This P-51 was built in Dallas but too late to see action in WWII. It was purchased by the RNZAF and flown as NZ2406 until Nov. 1955 when it was offered for sale by the New Zealand govt. The fuselage survived for many years in storage with the RNZAF Museum until bought privately and transported, initially to the UK and then on to the US for restoration. This was completed in 2009, the plane was registered N5551D and painted as 44-13737 flown by Lt. Charles Buck during WWII. The plane is now part of the Classic Trainers stable and was photographed at the Classic Trainers Hangar 3 Open Day.

This Argus was built at Hagerstown as 44-83159 and shipped across the Atlantic aboard the SS Loch Dee, arriving in Port Said in Nov. 1944. It then flew with the RAF as KK502 from Hussein Dey in Algeria until June 1946, when it was flown to US Army Payne Field (now Cairo airport) for disposal. It became F-OAFY with the French in North Africa and then CN-TNV with the Morrocan Royal Aero Club at Tit Meli as a parachute plane. After languishing in a warehouse in Hamburg for many years it is now under restoration to flight by Classic Trainers as many of the type flew in Czechoslovakia post-WWII.

This AT-19 was built by Vultee and TOC by the USAAF as 42-46643 and during its service life it also flew with the Fleet Air Arm as FK817 and the US Navy as 11297. It then passed on to the N-register as N70096 and became N817FK in 1997 before arriving at Classic trainers in June 2016. This very interesting and unusual warbird is pictured at the Classic Trainers Open Hangar.

This P-2 was formerly G-PTWO and is pictured here at the Classic Trainers Open Hangar. To reduce costs during development the Swiss recycled parts from surplus, older aircraft already in their inventory. for example, landing gear from their Messerschmitt Bf 109s and the similarity can clearly be seen.

This Kaydet was taken on charge by the US Navy as 43436. After decomissioning it was placed on the civil register as N1330M in 1948 and by 1953 was being flown as a crop duster. In 1969 it was converted to a two-seater and subsequently was registered N43GK and N785L. In 1987 it underwent a restoration after which it reverted back to N43GK and was acquired by Classic Trainers in 2010 with a USN Yellow Peril scheme. At some point over the past few years this has been changed to 'FJ934' RAF markings.

This Texan was built in Dallas and TOC by the USAAF as 42-44038 and subsequently with the South African Air Force as 7696. It became N696RE in August 1997 and arrived in Pilsen around June 1012. It has recently discarded its old SAAF markings and received this pseudo-RAF scheme becoming FX352, perhaps in recognition of the many WWII Czech pilots that trained on Harvards.

This Fishbed-D was TOC in April 1965 and flew with the 8. stíhací letecký pluk (8th Fighter Air Regiment). It was decomissioned in January and allocated for preservation. It has been around the museums in the Czech Republic, spending time at Vyskov, Olomouc and Zruč Air Park before arriving at Classic Trainers. The frame is now something of a shell with no cockpit or engine.
