Flies a mirror formation with Christen Eagle II ANICH 0001 N6LA.

This one-of-its-kind homebuilt helicopter was designed by Art Murray, and first flew in 1974, powered by a Lycoming 135hp engine. It was given to the museum in 2005.

This diminutive, foldable (!) helicopter was designed to be dropped over an ennemy zone, to be used by downed crewmembers to fly back to friendly positions. Even if it could fly properly, there were too many problems to overcome and the type never entered production.

Despite its vintage looking, this homebuilt first flew in 1996. It uses the wings of a Twin Bonanza and the engine and prop come from a Beech 18. On loan at the museum since 2016.

This homebuilt first flew in 1976, and about ten are known to have been built eversince. It was loaned to the museum in 2007.

This small, single-seat one-of-a-kind research aircraft was designed and built by Pete Bartoe in the mid-1970s. The first test flights were in 1977, and it retired in 1978, before being briefly flown again in the early 80's. It explored the technology of increasing lift at low speeds by blowing the exhaust of the turbofan engine over the upper surfaces of the wings. Bartoe's design directed all of the engine's output to the wings. This resulted in an aircraft with an astonishing speed range, from a minimum of 40 mph to a maximum of about 400 mph! Its top speed was ten times its minimum speed!

The B-52B Stratofortress on display at Wings Over the Rockies was the seventh B-52 built and was originally created as an RB-52B for long-range reconnaissance operations. The Air Force used it for avionics testing before being converting it into a bomber. Then it served with the 93rd Bomb Wing, where it served during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1966, it came to Lowry Air Force Base as a training airframe for munitions loading instruction. The B-52B is on loan from the National Museum of the US Air Force. (from the Museum's website)

Used as a ground trainer at Lowry from 1958. To the museum by 1988.
