Originally ordered be Hawker-De Havilland Australia, the registration VH-IMA nor the delivery was taken up. Allocated registration CF-YYU in 1964, it does not seem to have appeared on the Canadian Civil Registry until 1971 with Victoria Flying Services. C-FYYU by the time West Coast Air bought it circa 1979 - 80, it merged into the Air BC fleet in 1981. On July 30, 1981 enroute to Ocean Falls, BC, the aircraft crashed in the bush eight miles short of destination. It had run out of fuel and stalled trying to stretch a glide to a small inlet.

One of Western Airlines' newer 727 when photographed. They would take delivery of new 727s right up through 1981. Delivered May 31, 1978, N831WA carried into Delta Airlines' fleet in 1986 and retired in November 2002, stored at Victorville, CA. Sold to a leasing company, the airliner flew on as 9L-LEL beginning in 2004. First two months with Albarka Airlines in Nigeria, then with Kam Air in Afghanistan for six months, it ended up with Iraqi Airways in September 2004. Last records show the aircraft stored at Baghdad International Airport.

Canadair delivered this Silverstar to the RCAF in October 1953. It came to Camp Borden circa 1961 as an instructional trainer. After retirement, the aircraft was displayed at Royal Canadian Air Force Association Barrie, ON in the Red Knight color scheme. Although this aircraft was never a Red Knight aerobatic display aircraft, the colors endured when it moved back to Camp Borden for display in 2009.

When pictured, this 1976 Lear 35 was owned by Canada Jet Charters. Tragically, the aircraft was operating a medevac flight from Vancouver January 11, 1995 when it flew into the ocean on a non-precision approach to Masset, BC. Probable cause was determined to be a mis-set altimeter.

The second of three D-558-2 Skyrockets built by Douglas for the US Navy's supersonic research. This was the first Mach 2 buster aircraft with Scott Crossfield taking it to Mach 2.005 on November 20, 1953 during NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics - renamed NASA after 1958) testing. It was the Skyrocket's only Mach 2 flight.
