The Brazilian Air Force Esquadrilha da Fumaca (Smoke Squadron) performed their first demonstration on May 14, 1952 equipped with North American T-6 Texans. The team received their first Embraer EMB 312 Tucanos in 1983. Tragically, 1305 pictured crashed at Curitiba - Bacacheri (SBBI ) airport on take-off November 2, 1989 after an engine failure. The airport is in a heavily populated suburb and the pilot continued to fly the aircraft to protect those on the ground before ejecting too low to survive. In memory of Captain Idegaldo Coutinho Bacci.

Built as 43-49063 and delivered to the US Navy as bu 50769 in 1944, this C-47J was stored at Litchfield Park in 1962 before acquired by Atlas Aircraft in 1966 and registered it N91286. It came to Canada as CF-ADD in 1973. Pictured after merging with Northland Air (later Northland Air Manitoba) in 1986, the aircraft was lost on May 11, 1987. Returning to Pickle Lake after a cargo flight, the captain did some impromptu pilot training with a new first officer. The left wing failed under normal flight loads as a result of a fatigue crack and the airplane crashed 3 Km west of the airport.

This 1969 Twin Otter was originally leased to Executive Airlines as N385EX. It was one of several Executive Twin Otters acquired by Air New England after Executive ceased flying in December 1973. Air New England did not survive the 1981 Air Traffic Controller strike and shut down in the summer of 1981. Scenic Airlines bought the aircraft (that had been stored at Marana, AZ) in 1982 and converted it to a Vistaliner for Grand Canyon tours. Scenic Airlines was bought by the Papillon group, which owns Grand Canyon Airlines in 2007. The two airlines merged operating certificates April 30, 2009.
