The F-106B was a two-seat fully combat capable trainer version of the Mach 2.3 Delta Dart and is seen here taxiing towards the end of its career with the 194th FIS. After withdrawal and a period at Andrews, it was carried as an underslung load by CH-54 Skycrane to Atlantic City IAP, NJ, where it was plinth-mounted in the colours of the local 177th FIS. It is wired up so that the external lights work at night and is one of five F-106B's displayed across the US

The Tigercat was a high-performance carrier-borne fighter flown by the USN and USMC from 1944 to 1954. Although too late to see combat service in WW2, it did so in Korea. This example was originally BuAer no. 80374 and at the time of this photo was part of Sis-Q's varied water-bomber fleet. Under restoration to flying condition at Chino in 2011, should be one of six flyable and 12 surviving altogether

Looking very smart while serving the 101st FIS Massachusetts ANG (note 'Cape Cod' marks on engine nacelle), this machine was retired to Davis Monthan in 1975 and spent the next couple of decades stored there till bought by Classic Wings Corp, becoming N131CW in 1997. Went on to American Airpower Heritage, flying with the CAF Museum at Camarillo, CA in 11.01. Sold again in 4.09 and seen at Chino in regular USAF marks in 6.16

Although flown by the 58th TTW in full USAF markings, the Starfighters at Luke were German-owned and used to train pilots without the weather and airspace constraints of Europe. They even had WGAF serials allocated, this one being 27+64. This one is unusual in that it was painted grey - most were natural metal like the one next up the serial range parked behind

The first production Hercules to be built, following two YC-130 prototypes, made its maiden flight on 7.4.55 as a C-130A with the original blunt nose. The left wing burned off after a fuel leak on her third flight, but repaired. Converted to AC-130A gunship in 11.67, serving with a number of units in Vietnam (hit by a 37mm shell in 1971). Seen here in service with the 711th SOS; after withdrawal from duty in 1995, placed on permanent display at the USAF Armament Museum, Eglin AFB
