Delivered to the RCAF in September 1954 with serial 21443, this T-Bird's serial was updated in 1970 as Canada's military divisions were amalgamated into the Canadian Armed Forces. The aircraft was withdrawn in 1994 and stored for a while at CFB Mountain View before moved to CFB Borden where many aircraft are used for training and end up rescued for display or museums.

Wearing remnants of an early white training color scheme, this former 2 Canadian Forces Flying Training School Tutor (ex 114121) survived eight years of open storage at the Air Force's storage facility at Mountain View, ON. The aircraft was moved to Borden in 2013 and is displayed with it's original RCAF serial adjacent a base parade ground.

This Tutor was number 4 in the Canadian Forces Snowbirds first season in 1972. Flying in various positions with the Snowbirds 1972 - 75, the aircraft was withdrawn and designated an instructional airframe (753B) in 1976. Later transferred to Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering at CFB Borden, it became part of the base museum in 2002. The aircraft has been returned to early period configuration with the original round domed nose cap and removal of the spin strakes on the forward fuselage.

Canadair delivered this Starfighter to the RCAF October 20, 1962. Early years saw the fighter based in Baden, Germany. It was transferred to Cold Lake in 1974 for AETE (Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment ). Later an instructional airframe, 104792 was placed on display at Camp Borden in 2006.

Canadian Forces Joint Task Force Afghanistan Air Wing was activated at Kandahar in December 2008 and equipped with three CC-130 Hercules, eight CH-146 Griffons, six Mil Mi-8s (from Skylink Aviation of Toronto), and six used Boeing CH-47D Chinooks acquired from the US Army in Afghanistan, including 147205, in 2008. Originally CH-47A, serial 66-00103 (B.236); it was upgraded to a CH-47D in March 1986 and became 86-01650 (M.3155). Damaged on landing in Panjwaii on May 16 2011 it was recovered by a CH-53E. The CH-47Ds were stored at Davis-Monthan AFB by late 2011 and some sent to RCAF Museums.

The Royal Canadian Navy acquired 41 CHSS-2 Sea Kings in 1963-1969 for ASW use. Four were built by Sikorsky and the remaining 37 by United Aircraft of Canada (Pratt & Whitney Canada) in Longueuil, PQ. Most were deployed on destroyers and frigates. The last CH-124s retired at 443 Sqn. at Victoria Airport, BC in Dec. 2018 and replaced by the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone. Several went to RCAF base museums and the rest (about 16) were sold to Rotor Maxx Support Ltd. in Parksville, BC (owned by the VIH Group). 12429 was the last Sea King deployed at sea with HMCS St. John's from Jan. 16-Jul. 23, 2018.

This Avro Canada CF-100 Mk 4 was retired from operation use in 1964 and used at Canadian Forces Base Borden north of Toronto as a technical training aid (serial 646B) and later stored in a radiation test compound near the south gate of the base. It was restored by volunteers in workshops at the base in the early 2000s and displayed outside the base's aviation museum located in a 1917 RFC (Canada) hangar where it was photographed beside two CF-5s and two CT-133s. It was later moved to a location further north outside the "WO & Sgt Mess, Juno Beach" on Flaise Road.

When the CH-113A Labrador retired from RCAF service in July 2004, two aircraft were assigned to the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering at Canadian Forces Base Camp Borden, near Angus, Ontario.This aircraft started life as a CH-113 Voyageur with the Canadian Army and then served with 450 Sqn. before becoming a SAR aircraft in the mid-1970s and being upgraded to CH-113A configuration at Boeing in Arnprior, ON. In 2010, the aircraft became part of the collection of the Greenwood Aviation Military Museum, at CFB Greenwood, Nova Scotia, a former CH-113 Labrador base.

This CH-113A Labrador served with the Canadian Army and with No. 450 Sqn before being reassigned to the SAR role in the mid-1970s after Canada acquired eight CH-147 Chinooks. When the Labrador fleet retired in July 2004, this was one of two aircraft that spent about six years at Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering as training aids. In about 2010, the aircraft joined the collection of the Comox Air Force Museum, CFB Comox, Lazo, BC on Vancouver Island, a former CH-113 Labrador SAR base. The aircraft wears a CH-113 retirement decal on the side of its nose.

This Tracker is on display at the Base Borden Military Museum at CFB Borden.

This 414 Electronic Warfare Squadron Canuck is on display at the Base Borden Military Museum at CFB Borden. (Presumably?) prior to the RCAF reorganisation this plane carried '18493' as its serial.

The CF-101B was the two-seater all-weather interceptor version and this example is on display at CFB Borden.

This Red Knight CT-133 is on display at CFB Borden. The Red Knight was Training Command's solo display aircraft from 1958 to 1967.

This Silver Star is on display, somewhat distant from the other exhibits, at the Base Borden Military Museum at CFB Borden

This beautiful interceptor now lies in pieces at CFB Borden but, hopefully, it will be the latest addition to the Base Borden Military Museum and will soon be reassembled for display.
