The only B-10 version still in existence is this model 139WA export version sold to the Argentine Navy in 1938 (their s/n 0080), and used for training ground crews as late as the 1960s; it was last used as a ground-training tool for Argentine engineering students at the "Jorge Newberry" National School of Technical Education, No. 1, in Buenos Aires. It was acquired by the USAF museum on 21 August 1970 and is now displayed restored in the markings of a B-10 from 1934.

This replica was completed by the Air Force Museum in 2002, using some original parts and original blue-prints. First designated as MB-2 before the 1919 designation system, the NBS-1 flew for the first time on 3 Sep 1920. The NBS-1 had unique folding wings to enable it to be parked in smaller hangars. It was powered by two 420 hp V-12 Liberty engines mounted on the lower wing. Armament consisted of five .30 cal. machine guns and 2000 lbs of bombs.

Ca.1962: TOS USAF as a T-37B, then modified as the prototype T-37C. 1963: Converted to YAT-37D as prototype for a counter-insurgency attack aircraft; was given engines of 2400 lbst and six underwing pylons as well as the wing-tip fuel tanks. 12/64: Flown to the Air Force Museum. 8/66: Returned to service with the USAF due to high losses of A-1 Skyraiders in Vietnam. Testing was resumed as the aircraft was redesignated YA-37A as a prototype for the A-37A, and later brought up to A-37A standards. 7/70: Flown to the Air Force Museum.

When the US Air Force visited Avro Canada in 1953 to look at the all weather CF-100 fighter, a "special projects group" showed them plans for a circular disk-shaped aircraft known as Project Y-2. The USAF agreed to fund the project that resulted in two Avrocar test vehicles. Control problems with the aircraft out of ground effect couldn't be overcome and the project was cancelled in 1961. Pictured is the first Avrocar (58-7055 ) that went to the Air Force. The second (59-4975) is in the collection of the US Army Aviation Museum.

This was the second of three X-15 a/c. After a mishap, it was rebuilt into an improved version. This included external propellant tanks for longer burn time and a slightly longer fuselage. In October 1967, being flown by Pete Knight, this X-15 set a speed record of Mach 6.7 (4,520 miles per hour) which still stands today. Transferred to the museum in 1969 after the X-15 program ended.

Built as VC-54C USAAF s/n 42-107451. This was the first a/c outfitted for presidential use. It was used once by Franklin Roosevelt, that being his flight to Yalta and back in 1945. On that flight it was marked with a false serial number on the vertical fin. The a/c has been restored to the markings for that flight. Later used by President Harry Truman from 1945 through 1947 when it was replaced by a VC-118. This photo was taken in the old presidential a/c hangar (the a/c were wedged in, not good for photography!). Now on display in the new Presidential Gallery in the main museum.

The second of five XH-26 helicopters built. Powered by an American Helicopter XJ49-AH-3 pulsejet on each rotor tip (red cylinder on right side of photo) each producing 35 lbs. of thrust. It performed well but was very noisy and the blade tip motor location precluded engine out autorotations. It was not put into production.

This U-4B was used by President Dwight Eisenhower from 1956 - 1960 for flights from Washington, D.C. to his farm in Gettysburg, VA. From 1961 - 1969 it was used by high ranking government officials for shorter flights. Transferred to the USAF Academy in 1969 and used by the skydiving team through 1977. After a short stint in storage at Tucson, it was assigned to the Nebraska Civil Air Patrol. It was acquired by the museum in 1996 from a private owner and put on display. It is currently in the Presidential Aircraft Gallery.
