PYRO is a 1982 International Transtar 4300 powered by a Westinghouse J34-WE-48 Turbojet engine with afterburner from a T-2 Buckeye. The engine has a single spool, 11 stage axial flow compressor and a 2 stage axial flow turbine. The J34 produces 10,000 HP with 6,000 lbs of thrust. PYRO is capable of reaching speeds of over 250 mph, and burns 40 gallons of fuel per run! PYRO proves that the lack of aerodynamics can be offset with intense thrust.
If PYRO’s flaming afterburner isn’t enough, it has been equipped with flame throwing exhaust stacks. These stacks operate both on propane and nitrogen propelled diesel. This high octane combination allows PYRO to boast one of the most impressive fire displays in the world.
PYRO brings the heat! Fire breathing, flame farting, PYRO jet truck, the hottest ticket in town, both show and go!

Val-Halla, a restored P51 Mustang, flying at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was supposed to be taking part in the USAF Heritage Flyover alongside the F35 Lightning II but the F35 hand to land due to technical problems so Val-Halla flew on it's own while the RCAF Snowbirds prepared for their performance. Val-Halla was named for both it's pilots Bill Anders wife Valerie and for the Black Knights P51 squadron that was stationed at Keflavik, Iceland during the Cold War.
