Note the shooting cowboy cartoon. This is Tøffe Tom (Tough Tom) from a Norwegian weekly, a play on the aircraft's individual code letter. The squadrons painted many of their aircraft with cartoon characters that fitted the individual codes during the 1950s.

Painted to represent a Spitfire from one of the RAF's two Norwegian squadrons (331 and 332 Sqd) with Norwegian spinner and flag.

Built for the USAF as 51-17546. To Norway as 117546 in 1953 as part of the US Mutual Assistance Program (MAP) to its NATO partners. To France as 117546 in 1968. Flown to Gardermoen AFB and allocated to the museum in 1981. Repainted into the markings it carried with 718 Skv of the RNoAF.

This PBY-6A was built for the US Navy 46645 in 1945 before being sold and reregistered N10013 in 1956. It then went to Canada as CF-IZO and reregistered C-FIZO in 1983. In 1990 it was sold to the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum where it was restored to flying condition with the tail fin of the PBY-5A. It was flown along the coast to the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø where it is currently displayed. On the way, the aircraft made low passes over the homes of former Catalina crew members. The real FP535 was Catalina Mk III that was lost on a search and rescue flight north of Iceland 5 November 1942.

Never an air show without the 330 Skv Sea Kings getting called out on a live mission! 066 departs the RNoAF 50th anniversary air show.

This T-6J never served in the RNoAF. It started as 52-8570 with the USAF and transferred to the Luftwaffe as AA-622 in 1956. After it was struck off charge in 1966, it went to the Luftwaffenmuseum which donated it to the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum who restored and painted it to represent a Harvard Mk 2B with the fake serial number 8750 and the code M-BS. M was the type code assigned to the Harvards in the immediate post-war period. BS is the individual aircraft. The last code assigned to Harvard in service was M-BR. It is now displayed at the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø.

During the 1980s and 1990s, 335 Skv performed some very impressive JATO displays with their C-130s

This MBB Bo105 gave the most spirited helicopter performance I have ever seen including looping the aircraft!
