Although Fokker built a total of 320 Dr.-I tri-planes, none have survived. This reproduction is painted to represent the aircraft flown by Lt. Arthur Rahn in April 1918 when he served with Jagdstaffel 19. Lt. Rahn is credited with six confirmed victories. The aircraft was placed on display at the National Museum of the USAF in April 1994.

The B-10 was the first all-metal monoplane bomber produced in quantity, featuring such innovations as retractable landing gear, a rotating gun turret and enclosed cockpits. This B-10 was an export version sold to Argentina in 1938 and is the only remaining example left of the type. In 1970 the Argentinian Govt. kindly donated the aeroplane for display at the National Museum of the USAF.

The USAF developed the HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' to perform combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions to recover downed Airmen during the SE Asia War. The HH-3E was a highly modified version of the CH-3 transport helicopter, being the first air-refuelable helicopter and incorporating armour plating, defensive armament, self-sealing fuel tanks, a water-tight hull and a rescue hoist. This particular aircraft has earned her retirement at the National Museum of the USAF after long and distinguished service in Vietnam.
