The Fokker F.IV was a large single-engined airliner. Only two were built for the US Army as their T-2 transport. Lt Kelly and Lt Macready made the first non-stop flight across the US, from Long Island to San Diego, in 64233 on 2 and 3 May 1923. The aircraft exceeded its regular maximum take-off weight by 42%! The two also stayed airborne for 36 hours on 16 and 17 April. The F.IV had a single-seat cockpit so a door to the cabin was installed to allow them to relieve each other, with an extra set of controls in the cabin. The serial 64233 is a sequential number which pre-dates the Fiscal Year system that was introduced in 1922. The aircraft is seen here with a small Verville-Sperry M-1 Messenger.

WYLIE 65 KC-135R seconds from touching down after leaving Topeka and the bad weather behind. One of five Kansas ANG jets on a weather evac to March ARB this afternoon.

Originally an HC-130E, this surveillance C-130H was attacked by two Peruvian Su-22s during an anti-drug mission from Panama. Six of the crew were injured and one of was sucked out of the aircraft through a hole. A large hole is visible below the low-viz roundel. According to the Americans, the C-130 was 'clearly marked as a USAF aircraft' - it could certainly have been clearer. It was flown home to be written off. Photo from: Life
