Originally C-47 42-68766 that went to Eastern Airlines via the Reconstruction Finance Corp, this DC-3 has had more owners than space allows to list here. Owned by actor John Travolta for a very short time in the late 70s, it's pictured still with JTP DC-3 (John Travolta Productions) titles. Privately owned when substantially damaged during Hurricane Wilma on October 24, 2005 at Opa-locka Airport, FL. The fuselage was moved to Shell Creek Airpark, Punta Gorda, FL where it remains.

As the effects of Covid-19 start to bite, one of the Swoop fleet is parked off-terminal here (or "parked up" as they say in the UK) and doubtless on stand-by in case they sell any tickets.

Tanker 498 gets fire retardant stains removed while standing down during British Columbia's 2017 fire season. Originally delivered to Eastern Airlines (N5525) in 1959, the Electra spent another 30 years flying freight before Air Spray bought it in 2011. First registered C-GKIL, Buffalo Airways cancelled the registration on their DC-3 C-FDTH to make it available to Air Spray in 2012.

Ghostly image taken in Conair's storage yard of a large number of Trackers, some of which likely served as parts sources for their Firecat conversions. A number of former Canadian Forces Trackers can be seen in the background, their folded wings reaching into the sky they will never be in. There were approximately 50 frames stored there.

Constructed as a B.2 in 1963, this Victor was converted to a K.2 in 1974. Based at RAF Ascension (Wideawake Island) at the beginning of the Falklands war the tanker also flew sorties out of Bahrain during operation Desert Storm of the Gulf War in 1990. Retired in 1993, the nose section was preserved when it was scrapped. Stored for a while, the nose was transferred to the RAF Museum in Hendon in 1997 and put on display.
