Taken on strength with the R Canadian AF in October 1952 with s/n 20412

Based in South Carolina with owner Bob Russell. Built by Flug Werk at Gammelsdorf, Munich and fitted with a Russian Shvetsov Ash-82 engine, a copy of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone. I believe the engine was sourced from a Petlyakov Pe-2 bomber. The same radial was used in the Li-2 and Il-14 airliners.

Canadian registered from November 2019 and previously N766L

Built for the USAAF as P-39F 41-7215, some 9,588 of the unconventional Airacobra series were manufactured and entered service from 1941. The unique car-style cockpit entry doors are visible here. Just arrived from the US for the weekend's air show.

Besides the Battle of Britain Flight's PA474 in the UK, "Vera" (as she is known thanks to the painted code) is the world's only other airworthy Lancaster, although the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre's NX611 may in the not-too-distant future become the third.

This beautifully presented Mustang made its first post-restoration flight on 26 Sep 2020 and has a widely-travelled history.

Snowbird Tutor is pictured in the first version of their colorful scheme introduced in 1974. In 1977, it would change slightly when antenna would be added to be able to utilize civilian nav-aids. The flag would move lower on the fin to accommodate TACAN / VOR antennas and the serial would move to the fuselage. The clear nose lens would also become pointed to fit a glide slope antenna. A spare aircraft for 1976, 114003 carries the first commemorative tail marking by the team for the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics.
