This F-16B was delivered to the USAF in '83 and delivered to Shaw AFB 363rd TFW. It then served Homestaed AFB with the 309th TFS before it was transferred to the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron in May'89. From Mar'92, the unit lost its interceptor designation. Early '92, the dual was transferred to the 159th FS of the Florida ANG and in late '95 to the 111th FS of the Texas ANG. On 18 Oct'95 it was stored at AMARG with inventory code FG0336. It was transferred to Ogden ALC and modified for a sale to Jordan (as 235) in December 1997. It was then sold to Pakistan on 27 April 2014 as 14627.

This Phantom was just withdrawn from service when pictured in August 1989. It was prepared for preservation at Fresno.

This unmarked Falcon shows an unusual presentation of the USAF serial. It flew from 1984 onwards with SW, HL tailcodes before it was transferred to the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron California ANG at Fresno in Aug'89. After its career with this squadron it served the 111th FIS/FS and was stored at AMARC with inventory code FG0393 from 04 Nov'96. It was transferred to Ogden ALC in '02, modified to ADF, delivered to Italy's Aeronautica Militare as MM7262 on 6 Jun'03. It returned to the US after the leasecontract ended and was stored again at AMARG. It entered the QF-16 programme in Jan'21.

A 1967 UH-1H seen at Fresno. This Huey was sold via the Foreign Military Sales programme to the Philippines as 17764/764 in May 1998.

This Huey was once delivered as a UH-1D but is converted to UH-1H. The helicopter is currently preserved at VFW Post 6586, off Mississippi highway 42 on the west side of the town. It is here seen at its then homebase Fresno.

This Huey was last seen in the States at Temple-Draughon MAP (TX) in March 2003 before it was delivered as spare part to the Philippines in December 2004. The helicopter most probably does not exist anymore.

An OH-58A at the CAL AVCRAD (Aviation Classification Repair Depot) at Fresno.

The California Aviation Classification Repair Depot (AVCRAD) used this C-7A Caribou as a transport aircraft to get the necessary spare parts for Army helicopter to the depot. It was seen in full back light at the Army depot at Fresno, but modern technology made (photoshop) it possible to make a quite okay digital picture out of it. The Caribou was sold to Costa Rica as MSP002 in the early ninetees. It was also reported as TI-MSB at San Jose in April 1993. By late 2014 the C-7A was withdrawn from use and seen at Liberia airport in Costa Rica.

This white/orange Huey was seen at the California Army National Guard platform. The helicopter is wearing a seal of the ArNG but its unit remains unclear to me.

When the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the California Air National Guard at Fresno was in transition from F-4D to F-16A/B, four F-4Ds of the 179th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the Minnesota ANG were deployed to Fresno, to temporary relieve the new Falcon squadron with the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) task. One of the F-4Ds was still in its great original livery. It is seen here armed with live AIM-9 Sidewinders, ready for take-off at any moment.
