Normally assigned to the ET 88 "Larzac" in Djibouti, this Puma wears a special paint to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the BR117, a World War One unit whose traditions have been allocated to the ET 88 in 2014. It has been sent to Corsica for some maintenance job.

This aircraft began its service in 1963 and made what was the last landing of the entire USCG HH-52A fleet on September 12, 1989. It served 24 Coast Guard air stations in the United States.

Built in 1939, this was the last SB2U-2 to be constructed and is now also the only surviving example of the Vindicator carrier dive-bomber. The type remained in service at the time of the Battle of Midway, but by 1943 all had been withdrawn to training units. While assigned to USS Wolverine, in June 1943 it crashed into Lake Michigan after a landing accident, the pilot being rescued after the aircraft slid off the carrier's deck. It was recovered in 1990 and after restoration was marked as an aircraft of USS Essex

Neatly parked inside the hangar, Tucano 1383 is one of many operated by the Brazilian air force academy at Pirassununga.

1939-built Vought Vindicator dive bomber - the last survivor of the type. Ditched in Lake Michigan on 21 June 1943 during a training flight and recovered postwar. Restored in the early WW2 markings of VB-2 Squadron USN.

This is the only SB2U extant and was delivered in July 1939, serving in patrol roles until it was transferred to Carrier Qualification Training Unit, Glenview NAS, IL. and assigned to the USS Wolverine (IX-64). It crashed a month later and sunk to the bottom of Lake Michigan, where it stayed until recovery in 1990. After restoration it is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
