Appearing solo for the 1983 Abbotsford International Airshow, N21AP was one of two Coors Silver Bullet BD-5Js that preformed as a team or solo at shows 1983 - 91. The tiny jet is current on the US Register at the time of uploading and works with Aerial Productions International / Nalls Aviation on US government military contacts. Upgraded in speed and stealth capabilities, it's now certified as a Type-1 Cruise Missile Simulator.

Pulled from the training ranks in 1987, this Tutor was transferred to 431 Air Demonstration Squadron. Better know as the Snowbirds, the aircraft was retired to the National Aviation Museum (now the Canada Aviation and Space Museum) after the 1999 airshow season.

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

VX-5 handled the operational evaluation (OPEVAL) of the AV-8B Harrier II and the night attack upgrades. This early Harrier II was participating in the 1987 Abbotsford International Airshow.

Delivered as an A-6A in April 1967, this Intruder was later converted to a KA-6D tanker. Pictured with VA-52 from the USS Carl Vinson, it would transfer to VA-95 aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in 1991. On July 9, 1991 while on an aerial refueling mission, the Bombardier/Navigator went half way through the canopy after an uncommanded ejection firing. A successful emergency landing was made aboard the carrier and no critical injuries were suffered. A new seat and canopy were installed, along with some other repairs and it flew again for several months before being retired.

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.

Built in 1961, XL231 was the first Victor to under go K.2 tanker conversion. Used for tanker trials beginning in 1972, it would only get the full conversion and return to service later in the program. Later serving in the Falklands War and in Operation Grandby of the first Gulf War, the V Bomber was retired in 1993. Luckily one of five Victors to escape scrapping, it is privately owned but displayed at the Yorkshire Air Museum and kept in taxiable condition.

On July 22, 1992 this Apache was lost when it crashed in the mountains at Fort Carson, CO outside of Colorado Springs.

With the Snowbirds from at least 1988 through 1992, 114023 was later transferred to Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering at CFB Borden, Ont. Classified as Category B instructional aid on 28 June 2000, it was marked 936B.

A little known turbo-prop development of the Skymaster. One converted in 1988 and the registration lapsed in 2013.

Withdrawn and stored in 1995, this Skyhawk was transferred to Argentina in 1995 for parts and display.

Long serving 434 Air Demonstration Squadron Tutor was with the Snowbirds from 1979 through the 2001 season. Later numbered Snowbird 15 and used to tanker fuel into airports without their own jet fuel supply. It was later retired, marked as Snowbird 10, to the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering at CFB Borden, Ont.

Delivered to the RCAF in 1942 (5377), this Hurricane was struck off strength in 1946. Stored on a Portage la Prairie, Manitoba farm, the aircraft was rebuilt by Bob Diemert from 1964 - 1968. After participating in the movie "Battle of Britain", the fighter remained in the UK and was part of the Strathallan Collection from 1969-1984. Acquired by the Canadian Warplane Heritage, it was airlifted by Canadian Air Force C-130 Hercules in May 1984 to be a prominent part of their collection. Unfortunately the Hurricane was lost with four other aircraft on February 15, 1993 when a hangar caught fire.

Delivered August 3, 1973 and later converted to an AV-8C, this Harrier was withdrawn and stored October 30, 1985.

This DHC-3 gave the Otter a new lease on life. While not the first turbine Otter conversion built, it was the first one to be made commercially available. Starting as Royal Canadian Air Force 3668 delivered December 15, 1953, Vazar replaced the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 radial engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT-6A turbine in 1987 and certified the conversion in time to introduce it at the 1988 Abbotsford Air Show. Unfortunately, the aircraft was later destroyed when it was flown up a wrong valley in poor weather on August 18, 1996. The Otter flew into ground that rose faster than it could climb.

Being re-spotted at days end at the Abbotsford International Air Show, this Montana Air National Guard Falcon became a GF-16A at the Technical Training Center, Sheppard AFB, TX September 2010.

Originally USAF UC-78B Bobcat 43-32309, this antique Cessna was painted for a while as RCAF 8656. It was sold to the USA and is current as N184EN at the time of uploading.
