HH-60G Pave Hawk Medium-lift Helicopter
The HH-60G Pave Hawk is a twin-engine medium-lift helicopter. During Operation Desert Storm Pave Hawks provided combat search and rescue coverage for coalition air forces in western Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Persian Gulf coast. They also provide an emergency evacuation coverage for U.S. Navy sea, air and land (SEAL) teams penetrating the Kuwait coast before the invasion.
Pave Hawk is a highly modified version of Army Black Hawk helicopter which features an improved communications network and a navigation suite includes an integrated inertial navigation system / global positioning / Doppler navigation system, satellite communications, voice insurance, with a fast communication.
All HH-60Gs have a system of automatic flight control, lighting, night vision goggles and a system of infrared vision that greatly enhances night low-level operations. Additionally, Pave Hawks have color weather radar and an engine blade / rotor anti-icing system that gives the HH-60G an all-weather capability.

Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow all-weather interceptor
The Avro Canada CF-105 "Arrow", a supersonic two-seat all-weather interceptor, designed and produced by Avro Aircraft Limited was introduced for the RCAF in Malton, Ontario, October 4, 1957, the same day as the first Russian " Sputnik "criticized outside the orbit. The RCAF had decided to develop its own supersonic interceptor when no known project could meet its specifications for a two-seat, twin-engine machine with advanced firepower, capable of a speed of Mach 2.5, the range of approximately 2,000 miles and an operational ceiling of 60,000 feet.

Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker Superiority Fighter Jet
Sukhoi Su-27 is a great long range air superiority fighter, comparable to the U.S. F-15, but superior in many respects. It is a twin-engine plane with one wing and fuselage combination and double tail fins. At airshows the Su-27 has demonstrated an exceptional controllability at high angles of attack.
The Su-27 (NATO designation Flanker) is the first fighter line designed by Sukhoi Design Bureau. The export version is the Su-27SK. The aircraft is equipped to operate autonomously in combat in hostile territory, in escort of deep penetration and attack aircraft in the suppression of enemy airfields. The aircraft provides general air defense in cooperation with ground stations and air control.
A version aboard the Su-27, also known as the Su-33, with canards and folding wings, has been tested in the first major Russian carriers, and attack is a version of two-seat Su-27IB or the Su-34, with seats side by side on a new nose shape

Mi-26 HALO Transport Helicopter
The Mi-26 transport helicopter, most heaviest and powerful helicopter in the world, was designed to carry large loads up to 20 tons. It is the result of a specification in early 1970 a transport helicopter whose empty weight, without fuel, was no more than half of its maximum takeoff weight. Can be used for construction projects ranging from bridges to power transmission lines. The combination of high capacity and high cruise speed makes the use of the helicopter of economic efficiency.
The Mi-26 is the first helicopter with an eight-bladed main rotor which is mounted above the center fuselage of a hump. Two turboshaft engines are mounted on the top of the cab with air intakes above all, and behind the cockpit and exhaust ports on the sides of the engines. The long, bus-like body with fixed three candles landing gear wheels of the nose and rear, with a raised section in the back and round nose and cockpit intensified. The tail is swept with a slightly tapered fin with large rotor on right side. The floors are sharp and low face mounted on the leading edge of the fin.

F-15E Strike Eagle Dual Role Fighter
The F-15E Strike Eagle was developed from an F-15B as a dual role fighter designed for air superiority and air-ground missions. Unlike the F-15A and F-15C aircraft from one place, the E has a pilot and a weapons systems officer.
The F-15E, which first flew on December 11, 1986, was widely used in the Persian Gulf during operations Desert Shield and Storm with great success. The Strike Eagle is used exclusively by the USAF and the planned acquisition of the aircraft until 1998 the total number of F-15E was 225.
General Dynamics F-16XL
Two General Dynamics F-16XL were built as conversions of aircraft Full Scale Development, single seat and two-seat version. The aircraft were flight tested from mid-1982 to 1985 before being placed in storage. The No. 1 aircraft was removed from storage in 1989 and amended by a test job with NASA to study supersonic laminar flow and sonic boom research (with an SR-71). The second aircraft was returned to the Center Dryden Flight Research Center in 1992 and took over the project of supersonic laminar flow of aircraft No. 1.
The F-16XL is a radically different version of the standard F-16. The most obvious design change is the "cranked arrow" double delta wing. The aircraft is also more than four meters longer than the F-16A production. The XL was initially conceived as a multi-role aircraft shot competing against the F-15E Strike Eagle. The F-16XL never went into production, and only two prototypes were built.
Northrop F-20 Tigershark Jet Fighter
The former name of F-20 Tigershark was the F-5G, indicating that it was a development of a single engine F-5. The F-20 had 80% more engine power, modern avionics and a wide wing. it was a capable aircraft but found no customer, because the USAF preferred to stick with the F-16. That also was offered to the USN in the "aggressor" role, but was rejected once again in favor of the F-16. No market there was little hope for export orders.

Avro Vulcan British Subsonic Bomber
The Avro Vulcan is a delta wing subsonic bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 to 1984. The Vulcan was part of the RAF bomber force of V, fulfilling the role of nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
It was also used in a conventional bombing role during the Falklands conflict with Argentina. An example, XH558 has recently been restored for use in display flights and commemoration of the role Jets in the Falklands conflict.
