Taken on strength by the Italian Air Force in 1971, this Hercules went to the Brazilian Air Force in 2001 where it is current at the time of uploading. Pictured at the 1986 Abbotsford International Air Show supporting the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team. It was a banner year in conjunction with Expo 86, Vancouver's World Fair. Five national aerobatic teams performed at the air show : Canada's Snowbirds, Italy's Frecce Tricolori, France's Patrouille de France, Brazil's Esquadrilha da Fumaca and the US Navy Blue Angels.

B-1B Lancer 86-0099 "Ghost Rider" was with the 28th Bomb Wing out of Ellsworth AFB when pictured. Retired in 2021, the bomber's last flight was to Edwards AFB on February 23rd where it would be become Edwards Aircraft Ground Integration Lab (EAGIL). It's maintained in non-flyable condition for testing avionics software, weapon and hardware integration and fitment for B-1 upgrades.

This Buffalo started out as a CV-7A Buffalo for the US Army with serial 63-13687. Designed as a CV-2 Caribou replacement, it got caught up in an inter service rivalry when the USAF objected to Army large fixed wing transports. The program was taken over by the Air Force and only four test aircraft were delivered. Transferred to the University of Michigan (N325D), it was operated for the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Transferred to NASA in 1975, the aircraft was modified as a Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft (QSRA) and was registered as N715NA in 1978 for the program.

The Brazilian Air Force Esquadrilha da Fumaca (Smoke Squadron) performed their first demonstration on May 14, 1952 equipped with North American T-6 Texans. The team received their first Embraer EMB 312 Tucanos in 1983. Tragically, 1305 pictured crashed at Curitiba - Bacacheri (SBBI ) airport on take-off November 2, 1989 after an engine failure. The airport is in a heavily populated suburb and the pilot continued to fly the aircraft to protect those on the ground before ejecting too low to survive. In memory of Captain Idegaldo Coutinho Bacci.

One of several Alphajets to carry the F-TERO registration. E172 was involved in a mid-air collision with the opposing solo during a Patrouille de France practice. The aircraft crashed into the sea at Salin-de-Giraud, France on February 13, 1991.

Taken on strength in 1967, this Skyhawk did two deployments aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard in Vietnam (1969 and 70). Later with Fleet Composite Squadron 7 (VC-7), the aircraft joined the Blue Angels in 1984. It now "flies" the slot position in the four plane Blue Angel display at the Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, FL. Note, 154217 was a spare aircraft this day and USMC Captain Mark Bircher flew it in his number 2 position without a crew name under the canopy.

The Blue Angeles flew the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk 1974 - 86. 155000 was only with the team for the last couple of seasons. Later based at Mirimar for Topgun, the aircraft was retired in 1992. Stored at AMARC, it was scrapped in 1995.

Now on display at USS Alabama Memorial, Mobile, AL.

This Blue Angel Skyhawk was later operated by VF-43. The aircraft was placed in storage April 7, 1994 just before VF-43 was de-established in July.

Aeroflite Industries in Vancouver, BC modified OBU with a newly profiled wing that also moved most of the fuel from under the cabin to the wing.
