Developed from the T-33 Shooting Star the F-94 was the first US all-weather jet interceptor and the first US production jet to have an afterburner. Lockheed produced 853 F-94s of 110 were the A-version and this one was retired directly from active service to arrive at the National Museum of the USAF during May 1957.

During a training flight in Feb. 1970 this aircraft was involved in a miraculous incident after entering an uncontrollable spin that forced the pilot to eject. Unpiloted, the aircraft recovered on its own, apparently due to the balance and configuration changes caused by the ejection, and miraculously made a gentle belly landing in a snow-covered field. After minor repairs, the aircraft was returned to service and last served with the 49 FIS before being retired to the museum in 1996.

This Catalina served with the Brazilian AF in the Amazon Basin until 1981. In 1984 it was flown to the National Museum of the USAF for restoration and is now on display as 'Snafu Snatchers', an OA-10A assigned to the 2nd Emergency Rescue Squadron in the Pacific during WWII.

This beautiful old transport is actually 52-1066. She was retired from service to MASDC as CQ362 in September 1974 and had been quickly declared as surplus by November. Fortunately she was saved from the scrapman and is now on display at the incomparable National Museum of the USAF.

In reality this is 49-1067 but is on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings of the plane flown by Lt. Col. Bruce Hinton of the 4th FG. On 17th December 1950 he became the first F-86 pilot to shoot down a MiG.

The Sikorsky-designed R-6A two-seat observation helicopter was a refined version of the R-4, the first AF helicopter to serve in a combat zone. First flown in Oct. 1943, the R-6A used the same rotor and transmission system as the R-4 but it had a more powerful Franklin engine. With its fuselage completely redesigned to reduce air resistance and improve pilot visibility the R-6A bore little resemblance to its boxy-looking predecessor. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.

This P-63 is in reality 43-11728 but is on display at the National Museum of the USAF painted in the unusual colour scheme of a 'pinball' RP-63A. Aerial gunnery students fired at these manned target aircraft (RP-63A and RP-63C) using .30-cal. lead and plastic frangible machine gun bullets which disintegrated harmlessly against the target's external armor plating. Special instruments sent impulses to red lights in the nose of the 'pinball' aircraft, causing them to blink if a hit was registered.

Correct serial was 42-98225. The real 42-98667 is registered N68591 with the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum, Dallas, TX. This L-5 was operated in civilian life as N66225 but is on display at the National Museum of the USAF as 'Guinea Short Lines', a L-5 of the 25th Liaison Squadron serving in New Guinea in 1944.

This Thunderjet is on display at the National Museum of the USAF. It really is 50-1143, but it is marked to represent the F-84G flown by Col. Joseph Davis Jr., commander of the 58th Fighter-Bomber Wing in 1953.

The J-1 was a two-seat primary trainer and, although similar in appearance to the JN-4, was more difficult to fly and so never gained the popularity of the legendary Jenny. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF has had the fabric covering on the fuselage removed to illustrate the wire-braced wooden construction typical for aircraft of that time.

The American military used the L-17 from the late 1940s to the 1960s as liason, reconnaisance, light cargo and FAC aircraft. This aircraft carries the scheme used by a L-17B of the AF ROTC program at Bradley University, Preoria, IL in early 1959. She is now on display at the National Museum of the USAF and, note, definately carries the stencilled serial 48-928A under the cockpit canopy.

The Jenny became the US's most famous WWI training aeroplane and by the time production ended more than 6,000 had been delivered, the majority of them JN-4Ds. After WWI, hundreds were sold as surplus to civilians with many Jennies continuing flying into the 1930s. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.

This Spad was built in October 1918 but too late to see any combat, rather it was shipped to the US after the Armistice along with 434 other SPAD XIIIs. It is now on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings of America's highest scoring ace of WWI with 26 victories, Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker of the 94th Pursuit Squadron.

In reality this F-94C is 50-980 but painted to represent a Starfire from 60th FIS, Otis AFB MA, circa late 1950s. She carried no guns but rather rockets in the mid-wing pods and more in the radome ring that were shielded by retractable doors.

This 'Haymaker' F-86 is on display at the National Museum for the USAF. From March 1954 onwards it served with the 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron deployed at Komaki AB, Nagoya for secret reconnaisance overflights of the Soviet Union, China and North Korea. These aircraft were unarmed but note the fuselage bulge in order to accommodate the film magazines for the cameras.

In 1940 the Army Air Corps ordered 203 O-52s for observation duties but after the US entry into WWII it was apparent that the Owl lacked the performance necessary for combat operations overseas. As a result, the USAAF relegated the type to internal courier duties and short-range submarine patrols off the US coasts. This example is now on display at the National Museum of the USAF was obtained from the US Federal Reformatory at Chillicothe, OH in 1962 and restored by the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics.
