160778 YF-18A – it is US Navy aircraft but with Canadian Armed Forces markings on nose. Apparently it was used at CFB Borden as a Battle Repair Training Aid…I think the story goes that it was acquired along with about 6 others to help as training aids/spare parts?..not sure what happened to the rest but I think one is still located on the base CFB Bagotville PQ..but she looks pretty rough also..

Yes Mike I think the Auster would last abit longer in the new addition…and she does belong to this time period so it would be a good fit….and the chipmunk could fit in also( it is the right size)

Yes Steve apparently the Hornet is the USN BuNo 160778 still appears pretty complete so far…another CF-18 fuselage is next the Navy Hornet but it was stripped Cat A airframe….

The Hornet would look pretty impressive in the Airpark…maybe even returned to USNavy colours and ID…

Here are a few pictures taken on 133190 at 2003 Airshow..she was on static display only…not sure when she last flew…anyone have any ideas?

CT-133 133190 saw long service with ATESS – Aerospace and Telecommunications Engineering Support Squadron. She is still wearing her retirement livery

Not sure on the Auster UK ID…

Nope as I asked but they were not allowing access to the area yet.. I know I could have asked another staff for a private view but maybe next time….

And just a few more…including some pictures taken on the Airbase side at ATESS…I think the Buffalo and Hornet (an former US Navy aircraft) might become part of the collection at the museum…..but don’t quote me on that… 🙂

The Mig 21 is still waiting on its repaint..hasn’t moved since my last visit and the Tracker is waiting for warmer days for restoration to continue I guess…

Still it was a great day to visit and beat the winters blues…..

Does anyone know when she was last flown…late 90’s perhaps?

And is she fitted with a VIP interior or pax seating?

Here’s part of the reason we are so glad to have new hangar completed….some of the older aircraft outside were starting to get a little faded and soft around the edges….see the museum’s Canadair Argus….now she is safely stored in the new hangar and the only one preserved in doors at this time..

As we now have our Canadair Argus indoors!!!! a big gentle giant…
