Delivered to the USAF as C-119F 51-8037 in 1953. Modified to a C-119J in 1956 then specially modified for the mid-air retrieval of space capsules re-entering the atmosphere from orbit in 1958/9. Made the first midair recovery of a capsule returning from orbit when it snagged the parachute lowering the Discoverer XIV satellite 360 miles from Hawaii in 1960. To the United States Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in 1963

This is XF-91 46-680 marked as XF-91 46-681. It is unknown why the USAF Museum had the wrong serial number on the a/c. 46-680 was delivered to the museum in 1955. When displayed later at the new museum it had the correct s/n on the vertical fin. This slide was taken at the outdoor aircraft display area at the old museum on Patterson AFB. It is still part of the museum collection but as of 2022 it is in storage according to the museum website.

This was the prototype YF-84F (originally designated YF-96A). It was later converted into the YRF-84F for the FICON program. As of 2022 this a/c is in storage at the USAF Museum. This slide was taken at the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum on Patterson AFB.

Originally built as a F-89D, this a/c was converted to a F-89J in 1956. It was flown to the USAF Museum 12 September 1962, but was scrapped in October 1970 as it was replaced by another F-89J (52-1911). This slide was taken at the outdoor aircraft display area located next to the original museum on Patterson AFB.

This was the second of three F-107 a/c built. It was the only one fitted with the four 20mm M39 cannon armament, and was used for weapons testing. The F-107 program ended in March 1957 and this a/c was flown to the USAF Museum on 25 November 1957. This slide was taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the old museum on Patterson AFB. The a/c is still at the current museum but as of May 2022 is in storage and not on display.

Slide taken at the outdoor aircraft display area at the old museum on Patterson AFB. The USAF Museum acquired this a/c in December 1964 from the Connecticut Air National Guard. It was later on display at the current museum. In June 1982 it was transferred to the Ohio Air National Guard Base in Springfield, Ohio where it is on display.

This slide was taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum. This a/c is now on display in the current museum but is marked as a different F-86D. 50-477 spent most of it's active duty life bailed to North American Aviation for use in testing, and was retired to the museum in 1957.

This slide was taken at the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum on Patterson AFB. The a/c is currently on display in the current museum. On 27-28 February 1947 this F-82B flew nonstop from Hickam Field, HI. to LaGuardia Field in New York City. In 1950 through 1957 it was assigned to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, where it was used for testing ramjets. It was damaged in June 1957 and was transferred to the museum.

Delivered to the USAF in 1950, this B-45C spent much of its active life bailed to Pratt & Whitney being used for engine testing. Finally retired in 1971, it was flown to the USAF Museum for display.This slide shows the markings when the museum acquired the a/c. It is currently on display inside the museum.

This is actually RB-25D USAAF s/n 43-3374 marked as B-25B 40-2344, the B-25 flown by Jimmy Doolittle during the April 1942 raid over Japan. 43-3374 was TOC 31 October 1943 and was retired in December 1957. It was then transferred to the North American Aviation plant in Inglewood, CA. There it was reconfigured to resemble Doolittle's B-25B. That was finished in April 1958 and the a/c flown to the USAF Museum. This slide was taken in the outdoor display area at the old museum. It is currently on display at the current museum in the World War Two Gallery.
