This was the first C-8A Buffalo built, with US Army s/n 63-13686. It was converted into the C-8A/AWJSRA (Augmentor Wing Jet STOL Research Aircraft) for NASA, who operated it from 1969 through 1981 (FAA registration). It was the world's first jet STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) transport demonstrator. In 1981 it was exported to Canada and registered C-CFIU, and was scrapped in the late 1980s.The nickname Bisontennial was a spoof on the 1976 U.S. Bicentennial.

N70CF is to the left, and N21AP to the right. This was the second year that the Acrojets performed. Corky Fornof flew N70CF, and Bob Bishop flew N21AP. Both a/c were based on the BD-5J, but had many modifications to the original design. Both were registered with the FAA with Aerojet Special as the version. N21AP had msn 02. Corky Fornof flew N70CF in the opening scenes of the James Bond movie "Octopussy", including flying through a hangar.
