A decade after the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) took delivery of the last of 18 Lockheed CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft in 1982, the CAF took delivery of three CP-140A Arcturus aircraft in 1992 (without sophisticated ASW systems) primarily for pilot training and surface patrol missions . Aircraft 140119 was completed by IMP Group at Halifax Airport and delivered to the CAF in December 1992. It was retired to ground instruction use sometime prior to 2005 and transferred to the museum in 2016. The two other CP-140As were retired to AMARG Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ in 2010.

Taken on strength by the RCAF in 1965, this Tutor served with the Snowbirds aerobatic team 1977 - 88. Returning to the training roll with 2 CFFTS, the aircraft was designated a museum artifact in 2000 and moved to CFB Cold Lake, AB for display at the Cold Lake Museums.

The Museum restored this Vertol 44 as No 9592 serving with No. 103 Rescue Unit at Greenwood in the 1960s. Built in March 1960, it later flew at RCAF Chatham until retired in November 1971. Sold to Nahanni Helicopters in 1973 as CF-BSG, it was later abandoned in Fort Simpson, NWT and salvaged by Garth Walker of Comox, BC c.1980 who planned to use it for logging. The museum obtained the rear cabin of 9592 from collector Byron Reynolds in Alberta and later acquired US Army H-21 53-4365 for its front cabin and other parts since a snowplow accidentally crushed the front cabin of 9592 in BC.

This Lockheed Neptune served with the US Navy from 1960 to 1980 as 147969. After retirement from Fleet Composite Squadron Eight (VC-8) based at NAS Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico the aircraft was flown to CFB Greenwood, Nova Scotia on Aug. 27, 1980 to join the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum. Painted as the first of 25 RCAF Neptunes delivered in 1955 to replace the Avro Lancaster. California Airframe Parts Co. bought the surviving RCAF Neptunes for parts in 1970, but three were sold to Flying Firemen in Victoria, BC to be air tankers. These aircraft were never operated in Canada and sold in the US.
