Under restoration to flight after decades on the ground; G-CDAN was a wartime veteran (TB863) and had later been used in a non-flyer in the 1955 movie "Reach for the Sky". From 1972 it was displayed at the Historic Aircraft Museum, Southend until this closed and it was sold into private hands. On completion of its restoration to flight, the aircraft was shipped to New Zealand in October 1988 for Tim Wallis/Alpine Fighter Collection at Wanaka, registered as ZK-XVI. In 2006 it joined the Temora Aviation Museum, Temora, NSW, Australia, taking up civil registration VH-XVI.

Taken on strength by the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1956, this Chipmunk remained in service until 1971. By this time the service was known as the Canadian Armed Forces and the aircraft carried an updated serial of 12065. Registered CF-LBT in 1975, it was painted in it's earlier RCAF era colors and remains on the Canadian civil registry at the time of uploading.

Former US Army 67-19534, now operated by Black Widow Helicopters.

Ex USAAF 43-11719 owned by the Confederate Air Force (later Commemorative Air Force). This aircraft must have ranked as the most rare warbird flying at the time, because she was one of only two of her type ever produced. Two P-63Fs (out of a total production of 3,303 P-63s of all variants) were ever manufactured, making N6763 one of the most improbable warbirds to survive the war, let alone remain in flying condition. Sadly she was destroyed in a horrible and tragic midair collision with B-17 N7227C at Dallas Executive airport on November 12th, 2022, exactly 6 years after I took this picture.
