Before you even enter the park, there's a CF-116 Freedom Fighter (Canadair CF-5), in production from 1968-1995.


At the park entrance, there's a CT-134A Musketeer II, made by Beechcraft in 1981 and retired in 1992.


On the left, a CP-121 Tracker, or a Grumman S-2, built between 1968-1990. On the right, an AN/FPS-508 search radar antenna, in use sometime between 1953-1988.


The only helicopter of the bunch, a CH-136 Kiowa, manufactured starting in 1971. This one went on display in 1993.


The CX-144 Challenger, also known as the CX-144A for its unique configuration, was the second CX-144 prototype test plane, whereas the others on this page saw service. It was built in 1979 and shipped to a testing center in Alberta in 1988, ultimately coming back here.


Next up, the CF-104 Starfighter, which never actually entered space in its 1970-1993 life.


The planes come fast and thick as you get to the end of the park. The first (186) is the CT-133 Silver Star, another 1970 child. Next (sabretooth tail) is the F-86 Sabre MK VI, also known as the Canadair CL-13b, built between 1950-1958 and in use until 1962-1963. Last (784), but not least, is the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck - does it get any more Canadian - the only Canadian designed fighter to enter mass production. It started production in 1952 and was in use until 1981.


The CF-101B Voodoo interceptor is across from the previous triumvirate of aircraft, in service from 1961-1984.


Finally, the oldest plane but another that saw no combat, the Harvard MK-4, used as a pilot trainer from 1939 to 1968.
