The F-82 was the last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the USAF but had a rather short operational life being phased our in favour of the F-84 Thunderjet. Intended for long-range escort it arrived too late for WWII but did see action in the Korean War. In Feb. 1947 ' Betty Joe' flew nonstop from Hawaii to New York without refueling, this remains as the longest nonstop flight ever made by a propeller-driven fighter. She arrived at the National Museum of the USAF in 1957.

Originally 132649 with the Navy, when the USAF took it on strength they gave it an s/n compatible with their system by adding the FY number. The NMUSAF lists it officially as 52-132649. This Skyraider was flown by Maj. Bernard Fisher on 10th March 66 to rescue another pilot shot down over South Vietnam, an action for which Fisher was awarded the Medal of Honor. The aircraft was sevely damaged in combat and came to the National Museum of the USAF in 1967 for restoration and preserveration.

Production Komets were not ready for operational use until July 1944 and only 279 had been delivered by the end of the war. The sole operational Komet group, JG 400, scored nine kills while losing 14 of its own aircraft. This example never flew and was most probably deliberately sabotaged by the French forced labourers that built it. The hulk was restored by the Canadian National Aviation Museum and acquired by the National Museum of the USAF for display in 1999.

The F-84F was an attempt to bring the performance of the straight-wing F-84 Thunderjet up to the standards of the F-86. This example arrived at the National Museum of the USAF in 1970 after serving in the UK, Greece, Alaska and the continental United States. Now on display in the Cold War Gallery.

The Scorpion is painted in red Artic markings to represent a 449th FIS aircraft based at Ladd AFB, Fairbanks, AS during the late 1950s. It is in reality 52-1911, a Maine ANG aircraft, and was the last ever F-89 with an operational unit. Note also the Allison J35-A-35A turbojet engine alongside.

The USAF used the Huskie primarily for crash rescue and aircraft fire-fighting. This example is one of approximately 175 Bs purchased and it established seven world records in 1961-1962 for helicopters in its class; for rate of climb, altitude and distance travelled. It was assigned to rescue duty with Detachment 3, 42nd Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron, Kirtland Air Force, NM, prior to its retirement and display at the National Museum of the USAF in April 1973.

The A-36A Apache dive bomber was the first USAAF version of the Mustang (the Mustang was officially developed for Britain in 1940). This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and was restored by the 148th Fighter-Interceptor Group, Minnesota ANG. It is painted as the A-36A flown by Capt. Lawrence Dye, 522nd FBS in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy during WWII.

This Fisbed-D version includes the addition of a radar in the engine inlet cone to enable it to become an all-weather and night intercepter. However, in order to maintain the streamlined appearance the guns had to be removed and so this version relied solely on rockets for armament. This example served previously with the Hungarian AF before being acquired in 1998 by the National Museum of the USAF where it us now on display.

After WWII, Ryan Aeronautical studied the feasibility of a vertically launched jet fighter for the US Navy. In 1953, the Air Force awarded them a contract to build two jet-powered VTOL aircraft designated X-13. This is the second of those and it became the first jet aircraft to demonstrate a full cycle of vertical take-off, transition to horizontal flight and maneuver, then make a vertical landing on April 7, 1957. 54-1620 was transferred to the US Air Force Museum at Dayton, OH in 1959.
