Dual personality Tristar C-FTNC / N315EA would alternately fly for Air Canada (summer season) and Eastern Airlines (winter season) during 1973 - 81 . Destined to become Air Transat's first aircraft in 1987, it was retired in September 2001 and later broken up at Mirabel airport north of Montreal.

Jetall's first Boeing 737-210C, C-GJLN is see a few minutes after its delivery flight to CYYZ. The all-cargo airline was founded by Ari Tall (who previously worked for Soundair) and was active from the late 1980s to about 1996s and operated three Cessna 402s, 15 Fairchild Metros, four Convair 580s and two 737-200Cs over its lifetime. This 737 was delivered new to Wein Air in Alaska (N4907) and later flew with Quebecair (C-GQBD), East Jet (N728JE) and Air Atlanta Icelandic (TF-ABJ) before Jetall. It later flew for mining companies Noranda and Falconbridge before Lignes Aeriennes Congolaises.

With a history similar to most of AIr Canada's 727-200s, C-GYNM was delivered June 17, 1982. Sold to Federal Express in August 1992, it was converted to a freighter and registered N286FE. Stored at Victorville, CA in 2012, it has been a source for parts. It was one of the few 727s at Air Canada with the bare metal lower fuselage in this color scheme.

Built as a piston powered 340 for United Airlines and delivered in December 1953 as N73142. Converted to a 580 for Lake Central Airlines / Allegheny Airlines in 1967 (N5837), it would later fly with Commuter Airlines and Freedom Airlines. Air Ontario added it to their fleet in 1984. Sold to Canair Cargo in 1990, the freighter was scrapped at Saint Jean, QC in 1994.

Caged Tiger at Malton during 1941 - this is our oldest photo so far from Toronto's future airport. Assigned to No 1 Elementary Flying Training School in February, 4398 had an accident on 23 June so the photo was probably taken before that date - by October it was with the Test and Development Establishment at Rockcliffe. We have another photo of this airframe from there. Struck off charge and put into storage in January 1945. Photo from: Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada

Delivered to American Airlines in April 1969, this 707 was photographed four months before it was withdrawn from service at the airline. Sold to travel club Denver Ports of Call in December 1983, it was re-registered N910PC in April 1984. Stored at Waco, TX by 1985, it was reportedly broken up in 1986 at San Antonio, TX.

This DC-9 was one of three with charter carrier All Star Airlines (1983 - 85). First with Air Canada (CF-TLE) from February 1966, it was sold back to Douglas as Air Canada added larger DC-9-32s. Leased to Texas International Airways (N15335) for a year and Southern Airways, it was sold to Finnair (OH-LYD) in 1971. With All Star for 1984 -85, it went to Midwest Express / Midwest Airlines after All Star shut down. Leased to Royal Aruban Airlines for a year and East African Safari Express (5Y-XXA). That airline re-branded as East African Safari Express before the DC-9 was withdrawn in 2017.
