After its USAF career when it flew as 44-72400 this P-51D became involved in air races with different owners since 1946! In 1952 it made an attempt on the piston airspeed record with race number 45. In 1972, it was acquired by the Bradley Air Museum in derelict condition and subsequently restored for display. It still looks very shiny here in 2016, displaying its old race number 45.

Built as a JRF-5 for the USN in 1942, this Goose was registered N1523V in 1955. In 1958/59 it was converted by Kaman to become the only K-16 tilt-wing experimental aircraft with YT58 turboprops for VTOL/STOL development work. Ground runs were carried out here at Windsor Locks in 1960 and in 1962 it was flown aboard a C-133 to Moffett Field for wind-tunnel tests. After return it was never flown. Given to the museum in 1965, by 1975 it had been restored and had its huge props fitted after 2000, but these have been removed again. The C-124 and C-133 behind were both destroyed in the 1979 tornado.

Built by Douglas at Tulsa, this Invader flew combat missions with the 416th BG of the 9th AF in Europe from December 1944 to August 1945. Post-war it was registered N86481 and I saw it as such when stored at Bradley during my first visit in 1973. In 2012 a nine-year restoration was completed.

This A-10 last served with the 118th FS, 103rd FW of the Connecticut ANG here at Bradley, but earlier saw Gulf War operations with the 354th TFW (Myrtle Beach NC) and returned with the name "The Full Armor of God". In November 2021 it was placed back on display after an extensive renovation.

The Huskie will be well remembered by those attending USAF Armed Forces Days in the 1960s, often performing fire suppression demonstrations. This one had the honour of acting as a guard for Air Force One over the stewardship of three different Presidents. Until recently is was on display next to NEAM's Kaman HOK-1 but it is now in the storage shed.

Until recently this record-breaking F-104 was on display, but a week before before my visit it was unfortunately removed to the storage hangar to make space for an F-15. While based at Hahn AB with the 479th TFW in 1962, it reached a speed of Mach 2.5 at 92,000 ft. When I saw it in 1975, it was outside in a plain light-grey scheme. Four years later it was badly damaged in the infamous tornado that wrecked so many fine airframes in the collection.

Originally intended for American Airlines, this DC-3 was diverted to the USAAF as a C-49J during the war, taking serial 43-1973. Converted back to DC-3 specification, it entered service with Eastern as NC44792 and N44792 after 1948. Sold on as N792G and later familiar as N165LG of Florida Airmotive, it was acquired by NEAM in 1992 and from 2016 received this splendid restoration to its immediate post-war state.

A truly unique exhibit at the NEAM is this CBY-3 which underwent an eight-year restoration completed in 2020. A one-off, twin-boom, aerofoil-section fuselage, high-lift airliner, it was built by Canadian Car & Foundry in 1944, registered CF-BEL-X while in the experimental stage. Despite significant interest from the industry and a trouble-free test program, no orders were forthcoming. The designer Burnelli moved back to the US and it was registered N17N, the Loadmaster flying commercially in N Canada and S America until withdrawn at Baltimore. In 1964 it was moved in derelict state to Bradley.
