Rare FB-5 with the emblem of VF-6B on display at Planes of Fame Air Museum. Originally A-7104, this is one of just 27 constructed for the U.S. Navy. They were delivered from the Boeing factory in Seattle on 21 Jan 1927 by placing the aircraft on a barge in Seattle Harbour and sent to the awaiting CV-1 USS Langley, from where they made their first flights. FB-5s were USN's first fighters intended for carrier operations. These aircraft served with VF-1 on USS Langley, VF-6B aboard USS Saratoga, VF-3B at San Diego and finally with Marine squadron VF-6M "Red Devils."

CALSTAR (California Shock Trauma Air Rescue) was founded in 1983 and commenced air ambulance operations with a leased BK117 in 1984 in San Mateo. The non-profit company operated MBB Bo 105LS and MD900s in its early years and ordered eight EC135s in 2012. CALSTAR was acquired by for-profit competitor REACH, a subsidiary of Air Medical Group Holdings, in 2016. Then, Air Medical Group Holdings merged with American Medical Response to form Global Medical Response in 2018. CALSTAR and REACH have about 32 EMS helicopter bases in CA, including the Sutter Health Memorial Medical Center in Modesto.

This aircraft is ex US Coast Guard serial 1708 and has registration N464DF reserved (previously assigned to a Cessna 337 Skymaster), but no civil registration is worn at the photo date. It flew with the US Forest Service as "Tanker 116" during the 2017 fire season and was reported to become N116Z eventually, a registration reserved by the US Forest Service since 1997. However, there is no proof that this registration was ever carried by this aircraft, which was handed over to CAL Fire after a 2018 US Forest Service decision to abandon its Hercules fleet.

On July 6, 2022, ROTAK took delivery of its first two CH-47D from Columbia Helicopters. The two helis (both ex US Army a/c) were N377RA and N388RA. Unfortunately, the latter was destroyed on July 21, 2022 already, killing both crew. N366RA shown here was built in 1980 as a CH-47C (FY serial # 79-23400) and in 1991/92 was modified to the CH-47D standard, becoming 91-00244. It joined the ROTAK fleet in November 2022, getting this attractive and colorful livery. A 4th CH-47D (N344RA, ex 86-01663) was delivered to ROTAK as recent as January 2024. The company also operates three Kaman K-Max's.
