Highlights 100 years of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) history, featuring stylized images of aircraft flown by RCAF personnel, both past and present. At its center is the RCAF roundel positioned above a CC-130 Hercules, a cornerstone of the RCAF’s transport fleet for over six decades. The Hercules’ upward trajectory symbolizes the RCAF’s motto, Sic itur ad astra (“Such is the pathway to the stars”), while the dates “1924 2024” mark the RCAF’s centennial. Surrounding the core are eight aircraft, representing both current and historical models. From top to bottom on the left are the Finch Mk. II, CSR-123 Otter, F-86 Sabre Mk. 6, and CF-100 Canuck Mk. 5; on the right are the CT-114 Tutor, CC-115 Buffalo, CF-188 Hornet, and CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

· Finch Mk. II: The basic training aircraft at 12 Elementary Flying Training Schools during the Second World War. At the end of the war, it was placed into storage or used as instructional airframes.

· CSR-123 Otter: Could be outfitted with floats and skis and was first used for general transport duties. It was also used in support of four UN peacekeeping operations.

· F-86 Sabre Mk. 6: A fighter aircraft with six variants, two of which were equipped with Canadian-designed and built engines. The RCAF employed it in both Europe and Canada.

· CF-100 Canuck Mk. 5: The only Canadian-designed interceptor aircraft to go into production, its all-weather capability and reliable twin jet engines made it the standard RCAF interceptor in the 1950s.

· CT-114 Tutor: The RCAF's primary jet trainer until 2000. It has also been used for air demonstration teams such as the Golden Centennaires and the Snowbirds.

· CC-115 Buffalo: Intended to serve as a light tactical transport, it became best known for its search and rescue role. It also served on the Canadian contingent of the UN Emergency Force II.

· CF-188 Hornet: A multi-role fighter aircraft that is fast, light, and maneuverable, making it ideal for military operations.

· CH-146 Griffon helicopter: Supports tactical transportation, search and rescue, surveillance and reconnaissance, evacuations, and counter-drug operations.
