The Savage was a 1950s carrier bomber, later converted for refuelling/recon. The AJ-2 version had two P&W R-2800s and a J33 turbojet in the tail, good for over 40,000ft if piston engine stalling around 35k could be overcome. After service with the USN 1954-59 as 130418 and as firebomber N101Z, this one was used by AVCO Lycoming for jet testing in 1971/72. The only survivor of 143 built, flown to USN museum at Pensacola on 9.5.84 and restored to USN marks. When I recently sent the pic round my friends, no-one could name it!

This is the unique FICON (FIghter CONveyor) modification of the prototype Thunderflash, designed to operate as a parasite fighter from a mother-ship B-36 (in fact GRB-36F) using a trapeze mechanism. Whilst technically successful, the operation was very challenging even for experienced pilots with several near disasters while unhooking or recovering. After a number of RF-84Ks were trialled by SAC in 1955-56, the project was dropped. The aircraft is now displayed indoors in the 91st SRS markings carried in the mid-1950s

Ex-USAF 62-5924. Long before the V-22 Osprey came along, extensive tests were conducted with five examples of this tilt-wing design, with a first conventional flight in 9.64 and vertical take-off with transition to normal flight and back for vertical landing in 1.65. Excessive vibration and noise from the cross-linked drive shaft and wing flexing were major problems, but the concept showed promise. A joint USAF/Army/Navy project, the USN withdrew and interest faded, the last LTV XC-142A flying into the USAFM in 1970

This Seaboard DC-8 was due to have been sold to Inex Adria in 1972, hence the cheat-line, but instead it was only leased for a period of 6 months. Broken up at Willow Run on 11.11.02, panel with reg saved by the witness that gave me the date!

My first US trip included a highly rewarding excursion to the USAF Museum at Wright Field. This great old West Virginia ANG bird was shot from the pool of my nearby lodgings. In 1971 she visited Greenham Common, UK, from her Charleston base as a C-119G with 4-blade props but was modified to 'L' standard with 3 blades soon after. At one point she was also a test bed for Stealth technology, painted black with special $300/gallon paint. The frame still survives, exhibited at Fort Bragg, NC

I have an affection for TWA at LGA as I made my first US domestic flight from there aboard a short 727 during this trip. Only the seventh DC-9 to appear from the Long Beach line, 51T was sold to Texas International in 5.77 and by Continental to Aerocalifornia as XA-RXG in 6.91; ferried to Mohave for storage 11.06

Hayes Aircraft Corp. converted 136 surplus B-50Ds to KB-50 tankers, deliveries of the improved jet-assisted KB-50J version beginning in 1958. Replaced by KC-135s in the mid-60s, a few were still available in 1965 for use in SE Asia for emergency refuelling of fighters over hostile territory. Framed by WB-50D 0-90310, this one was soon after painted with fake serial 0-80114 and was moved to the Air Park at McDill AFB, FL in 1996

In my distant recollection, the sound of this awesome turboprop lifter was as distinctive and inspiring as that of the mighty Antonov 22. This Cargomaster, one of 50 built primarily to carry intercontinental ballistic missiles, arrived at the USAFM in March 1971 when the fleet had to be retired due to fatigue and was repainted in the white-top MATS scheme in 1986

This DC-9 was delivered to Northeast 12.67 and merged into Delta 8.72. To Ozark (N988Z) 4.74 and taken over by TWA 10.86. Ferried to Roswell 11.01 with TT 81,010 and pwfu; scrapped by early 2004. The DC-10 framed by its smaller brother is N605DA, a United aircraft which was leased from new in 2.73 to 5.75, then becoming N1837U
