On display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. The Erla Haube canopy is visible along with a taller tail unit. This is a U-4 that came equipped with the MK 108 30mm Motorkanone firing through the propeller hub. Previously a G-6, it was re-manufactured as a G-14 or G-10 that served as "Black 2" with II/JG 52. After being surrendered, it was shipped to the USA. The fighter is painted as a G-10 of JG 300 "Hermann" that was formed in June 1943. It wears the Reichsverteidigung blue-white-blue band of JG 300 on the fuselage.

On display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. From traditional bombing, the two-seat F-100F developed into Iron Hand, Fast FAC and weather recce roles. The first Wild Weasel I unit was the 354th TFS flying the F-100F from Takhli using APR-25/26 RHAW against SA-2 and AAA sites. This F-100F was a Misty FAC assigned to the 416th TFS, 37th TFW at Phu Cat AB and was flown by two eventual Chiefs of Staff. The only Misty FAC Medal of Honor recipient was Maj. George "Bud" Day, one among almost a quarter of the 155 Misty pilots to be shot down.

The most recent addition to the Air Force Museum's collection is an exotic one indeed! (Almost certainly) formerly N132SU with Tactical Air Support Inc, and originally 61 Blue with the Ukrainian Air Force. Photos can only do partial justice to just how big the Flanker truly is in person. Moved into her new display position in the museum's Cold War Gallery on October 30, 2023.

7/30/57: TOS USAF and delivered to the 28th Bomb Wing (Heavy) (SAC), Ellsworth AFB, SD. During its career it served in several squadrons and deployed to Vietnam; during one deployment, on 9 April 1972 , it was severely damaged by a surface-to-air missile and grounded for repairs. Once most damage was fixed the plane flew to Castle AFB, CA, to complete repairs and by December it was back in Thailand flying combat missions over Vietnam. It's last unit was 97th Bomb Wing, Blytheville AFB, AR. 11/78: Ferried to the Air Force Museum.

On display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This 363rd TRG recce Voodoo was flown by Captain Ray Schrecengost in Op Sun Run. Named "Cin Min" for his daughters, it was the lead aircraft among four RF-101Cs which set three new transcontinental speed records in 1957 using four AARs each way. It flew with 363rd TRW during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The 'C' variant was used in combat during the Vietnam War, where this Voodoo served with 45th TRS at Tan Son Nhut AB. Recce Voodoos were heavily tasked, which included providing BDA that attracted AAA.

On display in the Korean War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This MiG-15bis was delivered to the Korean People's Air Force. On 21 Sep 1953, Lt No Kum-Sok flying an armed patrol defected by crossing the DMZ and landed his MiG-15bis at Kimpo Air Base. The U.S. was keen to acquire a MiG-15 and offered a $100,000 reward for the first one delivered intact. The aircraft was extensively tested and then offered back to its "rightful owners", but there was no response to the offer by N. Korea, China or the Soviet Union. It went to the museum in 1957.

On display in the Cold War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This is the export version of the MiG-23 that was less capable than domestic Soviet versions. It was flown by the 4477th TES, nicknamed the "Red Eagles", which also evaluated the MiG-17 and MiG-21 under Project Constant Peg over the Tonopah Test Range. The Soviet aircraft were used to simulate realistic adversaries, helping American aircrews to gain skill and confidence to defeat these threats. Constant Peg ended in 1988.
