Scaled Composites first flew an 85% scale proof-of-concept aircraft of the Beech Starship design in August 1983. N2000S (NC-1) was the first of three prototype Starship 1s and first flew on February 15, 1989. Beech used this aircraft for aerodynamic testing, the second for avionics and systems testing and the third for flight management system and engine testing. Retained by Beech / Raytheon, the registration of N2000S was later cancelled as "Destroyed". Two later Starships also carried this registration (NC-17 and NC-43).

This former CityJet Avro RJ85 arrived at Abbotsford Airport, BC on February 6, 2020 from Regina, Saskatchewan and was cannibalized for parts by Conair to support its RJ85 air tanker program before apparently being donated to the University of the Fraser Valley's aviation maintenance program at Abbotsford Airport. Unfortunately, the aircraft maintenance program was suspended during Covid-19 and has not been revised. This RJ85 was originally operated by Mesaba/Northwest Airlink as N527XJ before acquired by CityJet in January 2007.

The AN-225 replaced the Myasishchev 3M-T Atlant , two Bison bombers modified to carry rocket boosters and the Soviet space shuttles of the Buran program. First flying December 21, 1988, the aircraft was unveiled to the west at the 1989 Paris Air Show. It's pictured debuting in North America at the 1989 Abbotsford Air Show. The Buran program was cancelled in 1993 and the sole completed Mriya was stored in 1994. Refurbished in 2000, it began a heavy lift freight career in 2001 with Antonov Airlines. It was destroyed at Kyiv - Gostomel airport during the initial Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Royal Canadian Navy squadron VS 880 flew this tracker (1554) 1959 - 68 off of HCMS Bonaventure, Canada's last aircraft carrier. When the "Bonnie" retired in 1970, the Trackers moved ashore, merging with the Army and Air Force into the Canadian Armed Forces. Stored as 12154, the aircraft was sold to the Province of Saskatchewan in 1975 to fight fires as Tracker 4. Saskatchewan retired the Trackers circa 2014 and most were stored at Abbotsford until scrapped.
