The Black Hawk is the Army’s front-line utility helicopter used for air assault, air cavalry, and aeromedical evacuation units. It is designed to carry 11 combat-loaded, air assault troops, and it is capable of moving a 105-millimeter howitzer and 30 rounds of ammunition. First deployed in 1978, the Black Hawk’s advanced technology makes it easy to maintain in the field. The Black Hawk has performed admirably in a variety of missions, including air assault, air cavalry and aeromedical evacuations. In addition, modified Black Hawks operate as command and control, electronic warfare, and special operations platforms. |

Here are a few of the aircraft of the CAF
Vultee BT-13A Valiant Basic Trainer
All pilots, whether they were destined
for fighters or bombers, had to go through the pilot
training process. One of the most important aircraft
for developing new pilot skills was the BT-13 Valiant,
sometimes known as the "Vibrator" ~ not
for what it did to you, but to the windows of buildings
when it flew by.
Harvard Mk IV
The most important advanced pilot
trainer of World War II was the AT-6 Texan. The
aircraft was so good and so popular, that it was
used by many different service branches and many
different countries. Our aircraft was one of those
licensed by Canadian Car and Foundry in Canada where
it was known as the "Harvard"
