A total of 59 F-117A stealth aircraft were built between 1981 and 1990. This is the second, specially modified for systems testing by AFSC at Edwards AFB. In September 1985 the left tail fin broke away while the aircraft was pulling up during a weapons test, but the pilot was able to land safely earning him a DFC. The Air Force retired it to the museum in 1991 after the test program was completed. During Operation Desert Storm, the F-117As flew 1,271 sorties, achieving an 80% mission success rate and suffered no losses or battle damage

When the US Naval Academy has summer break. Midshipmen travel to various Naval and Marine installations for service capability familiarization. Flight prospects travel to NAS North Island for a familiarization flight in the T-34. The T-34 detachment are the last few remaining in the US Navy and Marine Corps. This image show a midshipman in the back seat for their flight.

USAF C-7B 62-4182 was moved to the Western International Aviation scrapyard at Davis-Monthan in Sep 1986. It was registered to Newcal Aviation as N60NC on 5 Sep 1986, but this registration was never applied, and the aircraft did not leave the Western scrapyard until 30 Sep 2020 when it was moved from the Western International scrapyard to a compound at the Pima Air & Space Museum, reportedly for a rebuild using parts from 62-4150/N92NC c/n 86 and 63-9739/N80NC c/n 186. It was again registered, now as N68NC, on 15 Jun 2021, but this registration too was never applied to the aircraft. This Caribou was still stored at the museum at the time of upload, with no sign of any rebuild.

Bringing back memories of seeing Globies over England in the late 60s, this is actually C-124C 52-0166 which during the Congo Airlift in 1960 went off-course on a flight from Chateauroux to Athens and was forced down by Yugoslav AF fighters. The aircraft and crew were held until diplomatic negotiations secure their release for return to France. In September 1974 it was consigned to MASDC for storage, after service with the last C-124 operator, the 165th TAG, Georgia ANG. Ferrying to the USAF Museum in August 1975, it is now displayed as an aircraft of the 756th MAS/909th MAG at Andrews AFB

One of 26 HA-1112s purchased by Spitfire Productions for use in the filming of the 1969 epic "Battle of Britain", modifications being made to improve their visual representation of Messerschmitt Bf109Es of the 1940 period. Built for the Spanish AF at Seville in 1959, after the filming it was shipped to Texas where it flew briefly as N9938 before being grounded in 1971. Returning to Duxford in 1996, it was restored to flight as G-BWUE and made further film appearances, reverting to G-AWHK in 2014
