The Hawk One air demonstration team consists of a single-ship Canadian-built F-86 Sabre painted to commemorate the RCAF Golden Hawks along with numerous volunteer team members including pilots, coordinators, maintenance technicians and support staff. Of these, up to three will attend each airshow.

The home base of Hawk One is at Vintage Wings of Canada located in Gatineau, Quebec which flies and maintains many vintage warbird aircraft. Vintage Wings purchased and restored the aircraft in 2007 and maintains operational control of the aircraft.

 Vintage Wings of Canada is a not-for-profit charitable organization and is funded completely by corporate and private sponsorship.
