In 1972, Captain Steve Ritchie shot down 5 Mig 21s to become the only USAF pilot ace of the Vietnam War. Ritchie fittingly flew this F-4E, specially painted in Vietnam era markings, at the USAF 50th anniversary Airshow at Nellis AFB in April 1997. This Phantom was one of two painted for this occasion as Steve Ritchie's Vietnam Mig Killer, which actually was 66-7463 for three kills and has been withdrawn from service long before.

Hard work getting a fairly uncluttered shot! K64

Some Air Europa Express operated as Canarias Regional Air for inter island flights, returning from time to time to its Palma de Mallorca base, hence the Canarias Regional Air sticker under the Spanish flag.

A privately owned Sabre marked as 52-5116 and kept in immaculate condition. The Sabre was not America's first jet fighter but to many pilots it was the first to win both their respect and their hearts. Compared to today's fighters it is underpowered and primitive but few aircraft have done so well at the job they were designed to do. With their classic good looks the F-86 Sabre was the right aircraft at the right time and earned itself a prominent place in aviation history.
