When Ben Hall found F-86A 49-0178 in a scrapyard, it's engine, most of the cockpit and wing slats were missing. Parts from other wrecks were used to get the aircraft flying again. The replacement wing slats did not fit, so they were modified and fixed closed. A fence, similar to the 6-3 hard wing seen on the later F-86F was also added. Mr. Hall flashes a smile while awaiting his time to perform with the Sabre at the 1983 Abbotsford International Airshow.

This former BOAC VC10 (G-ARVG) started airline service in June 1964 after six months of crew training as the type was introduced. After BOAC merged with British European Airways to form British Airways, this aircraft was leased, then sold to Gulf Air (A4O-VG) in June 1974. Retired in 1977, it was among nine airline VC 10s the RAF bought in 1978 for tanker conversion. ZA141 was the first tanker to fly in June 1982 and is pictured after recent painting in the new Hemp color scheme - what a sight and what a sound. Retired in 1999, it was scrapped at St. Athan in 2001.

Delivered to Flying Tigers January 3, 1969, N767FT is pictured after the "Flying Tiger Line" titles were shortened to "Flying Tigers" in the mid-70s (although the last of the original titles remain etched on the fuselage). Converted to a DC-8-73AF in 1982, the freighter was quickly sold to UPS as N787UP and was operated by Evergreen International Airlines for United Parcel Service. Re-registered N807UP as the operation was taken over by UPS themselves. Stored at Roswell, NM in 2009, it was sold and broken up in 2010.

While most Firecats were former Royal Canadian Navy trackers licensed built by De Havilland Canada, there were also a half dozen ex-US Navy S2Fs converted. This Firecat was originally 136600 with the US Navy retired to MASDC in 1980. Acquired by Conair in 1984, the firebomber conversion was completed by 1986. The aircraft was retired in 2012, but remained stored at Abbotsford. The last Conair operated Firecats were scrapped in the summer of 2020.

This Dash 7 was first delivered to Arkia Israeli Airlines on October 20, 1981 (4X-AHB). In 1984 Air Atonabee was reorganized into City Express and registered C-GGXS to the airline in June. When City Express shut down in 1991, the airline's parent company moved the aircraft to subsidiary ALS Aero Lease and Sales. In 1994 , it was transferred to Trans Capital Air, another subsidiary. The aircraft is pictured during 1995 operating for Conair Aviation with small Conair titles by the entry door and a British Colombia Forest Service crest on the nose. Air Tindi bought C-GGXS in March 2021.
