Built by the Columbus Division, North American Aviation at then-Port Columbus Airport, Columbus, Ohio. This aircraft was delivered to the USAF c.1955 for what ended up being a relatively brief term of service. Her only active-duty USAF unit was the 3595th Combat Crew Training Wing at Nellis AFB, NV. In December 1958 she was transferred to the 142nd TFS, 113th TFG, Delaware ANG, where she remained until circa January 1962. Last assignment was with the New Jersey ANG, but sources do not specify specific unit. Delivered to the Air Force Museum in November of 1964, on display since.

On November 21, 2025, the museum brought their Iraqi MiG-25RB into the Cold War Gallery for a 6-month temporary display. This aircraft was captured at Al-Taqaddum AB in Iraq in 2003; Iraqi forces had buried this and other aircraft in the sand, in an effort to prevent their destruction by coalition airpower. Chosen as the best of the discovered MiG-25s, this aircraft was brought to the US in 2003, although her wings were not located before she was transported. She was transferred to the NMUSAF in 2006, and was in storage now. Scramble quotes as a MiG-25RBT; c/n as read off.

On display at NMUSAF. The ninth P-80A was built as a XP-80B with an improved J33-A-17 turbojet. It was modified as a racer, receiving the designation P-80R. This included a smaller canopy, removal of all armament, re-contoured leading edges and an upgraded engine. Technicians working on the aircraft nicknamed it "Racey." It was flown by Col. Albert Boyd to set a new official world speed record of 623.753 mph on 19 Jun 1947 over Muroc Army Air Field, returning the record to the USA. The previous record of 615.8 mph was set on 7 Sep 1946 by Gp Capt E.M. Donaldson in a Gloster Meteor F.4.

In June 1962 this, the second of three X-15s, became the first aircraft to exceed Mach 5 after being air-dropped form its NB-52A mothership over Mud Lake, NV. In October 1967, after a fuselage stretch and addition of the large propellant tanks, it reached Mach 6.7, fastest of the three X-15s. After service, 56-6671 went into storage till moved to the USAFM in 1969.

A further development of the original Bell X-1, the X-1B was instrumented to study thermal heating during supersonic flight. Cracks in the fuel tanks finally grounded the rocket plane with the last flight on Jan. 23, 1958. Displayed at the US Air Force Museum.

Grumman G-712 forward swept wing demonstrator, better known as the X-29A. Rebuilt from F-5A 63-8372 to explore state-of-the-art composite technologies in aircraft design. First flew in 1984. Later registered as NASA 003. Preserved at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright-Patterson, AFB OH from 1994.

The full length of the X-3 Stiletto just fits the frame during a visit to the newly opened X-planes hall of the National Museum of the USAF in Wright Patterson in 2016. It was first flown from Edwards AFB in 1952 and designed to test sustained flight at twice the speed of sound. It also explored the use of very short wings and titanium airframe construction. Because it was underpowered with an interim J34 engine, it failed to achieve the high speeds for which it was designed. By 1956 it had been transferred to this museum.

On display in the X-planes hall at NMUSAF, Convair researched the high-speed delta wing in response to a USAF requirement for a supersonic interceptor. Enter the XF-92A, first flown on 18 September 1948. This aircraft helped in development of Convair's F-102 Delta Dagger, F-106 Delta Dart and B-58 Hustler.

This is the unique FICON (FIghter CONveyor) modification of the prototype Thunderstreak, designed to operate as a parasite fighter from a mothership B-36. Originally designated YF-96A, it featured the fuselage of the last production F-84E fitted with sweptback wing and horizontal tail. The aircraft went back into storage after this visit to the X-planes hall in 2016.

This was originally the jet-powered Martin SV-5J, a derivative of the X-24A lifting body built for flight training but never flown. For display purposes, the SV-5J has been modified to represent the X-24A. Martin donated it to the USAF Museum in 1971.

A development of the well known F-84 series, this XF-84H Thunderscreech could well have been the loudest aircraft ever..... Intended to combine the speed of a jet with the long range, low fuel consumption and low landing speed of propeller-driven aircraft, the two XF-84H built made 12 flights in the mid-50s. Around 1958 this first one was preserved at Bakersfield (CA) with an electric motor to turn the prop. After restoration it went to the USAF Museum in 1999.

One of only two complete Macchi 200 surviving, MM8146 was damaged near Benghazi in November 1942 and subsequently captured by British forces during the Axis retreat after the battle of El Alamein. In early 1943 it was shipped to the USA and used for tours around the country to raise War Bonds. It ended up with this great collection.

Built by Fieseler Flugzeugbau, Kassel in 1940, this Fi-156C-3 was delivered to Swedish Air Force and served until 1948. It became D-EBOY and N156SV before it was bought by the National Museum of the USAF in 1974 for display. It received the markings of the Storch used by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in North Africa. The starbord side carries a blue Edelweiss emblem on the nose, whereas the port side has this stylised swastika palm tree.
