 The Calair CA21 prototype VH-CAL (c/n CA21001) flew for the first time at Caloundra. The aircraft was subsequently used as the "Skyfox Research and Development Aircraft" until at least May 1998. In this guise it would have served as the prototype for the succeeding CA22, CA25 and CA25N models.

 Transferred to the AUF/RAAus Register as 19-4140 and later re-registered 55-4140. The aircraft was still flying as 55-4140 at the time of writing.
A composite Skyfox airframe was mounted on a pole beside the Bruce Highway at Glenview near Caloundra for the purpose of advertising the Skyfox Flying School. This composite airframe was subsequently removed from its pole and donated to the Queensland Air Museum by the Skyfox Flying School in 2007. This airframe will be statically restored to represent the original prototype VH-CAL in its markings as the "Skyfox Research and Development Aircraft". At the time of writing, all components are stored in a shipping container pending restoration.
     

* This composite airframe has been variously reported to comprise some or all of the following:

C/N Regn. Component
CA21001 VH-CAL Wings
CA21002 nil Section from an unflown test fuselage
CA21003 nil Section from an unflown test fuselage
