C-GZVM / 85 (cn 1036) One of seven Air Spray Electras present, this is one of the five operational ones. All were very smart, like this one, but each in a different livery. |

C-GBUI (cn 1710) Presumably this is a Canadair built, ex CAF Sabre. I think it now serves as the personal mount of Air Spray's MD-it's certainly kept in beautiful condition and is painted in the striking black and yellow colours of the operator, seen otherwise only on their (recently retired) A26s. |

N419FS (cn 243-247) Personally, I prefer military aircraft in attractive civil colour schemes, such as this one of Flight Systems. |

42-72449 (cn 10554/285) This C-54 is presumably part of the excellent museum here, but it's kept apart from the other aircraft and you need ramp access to get to see it close up. We were lucky. |

N9701F (cn 10184) One-time TWA engine transporter "Ontos" is still airworthy, albeit on a "Restricted" C of A, with H and P, though I don't think it's done much flying lately. |

N51599 Desert queen: this is one of two C118s in storeage at Greybull with H and P. They face an uncertain future, given the USDAFS's decision last year not to renew the contracts of any of the heavy piston-engined firebombers, though neither of these aircraft have in fact been converted to firebombers. |

N838D / 60 Thrilling moment as another of Tanker 60's engines kicks into life amidst a cloud of smoke, prior to all four being run up to max power. Thanks a million to the guys at TBM-Butler, who started and ran the engines just for the benefit of our visiting group. |
