Ex USAAF 43-11719 owned by the Confederate Air Force (later Commemorative Air Force). This aircraft must have ranked as the most rare warbird flying at the time, because she was one of only two of her type ever produced. Two P-63Fs (out of a total production of 3,303 P-63s of all variants) were ever manufactured, making N6763 one of the most improbable warbirds to survive the war, let alone remain in flying condition. Sadly she was destroyed in a horrible and tragic midair collision with B-17 N7227C at Dallas Executive airport on November 12th, 2022, exactly 6 years after I took this picture.

Adversary F-5N of Fighter Composite Squadron (VFC) 13 "Saints". The F-5 is wearing the so-called MiG-28 scheme from the movie Top Gun - it is a former Swiss Air Force Tiger (J-3053). It was delivered in May 2004 to the US Navy.
