In May 1993, a contract for four E-2T (T standing for Taiwan) was signed between the US and Taiwan. It had been announced that these E-2T would be rebuilt E-2B fitted with AN/APS-138 radars. The first two E-2Ts arrived in Taiwan by sea on 3 Sep 1995, followed by the second pair on 23 Sep 1995. Although the four E-2Ts all have E-2B Bureau Numbers, ROCAF officials claimed that they were in fact all new-built Hawkeyes, with only few E-2B parts used, so the aircraft is equivalent to the E-2C Group II standard, with the more advanced AN/APS-145 radar. The RoCAF E-2Ts are assigned to 2nd Early Warning Squadron.

Taiwan once received 150+ Hueys, but only eighty remain in service in recent years. The helicopter is expected to retire in 2019. It is said in October 2019, a retirement ceremony will be held. At Gueiren (Kueijen) air base the Army Aviation Training Centre, the 1st and 2nd Air Assault Battalions are operating the mighty Huey.

Another shot of 1311 with fine vortex coming from the propellers. The Republic of China Air Force (RoCAF) C-130H is assigned to 10th Transport Air Group, operating two squadrons Hercules', 101st and 102nd Tactical Composite Squadron. Both units operate in a pool of aircraft.

The Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan Air Force) operated the S-2T Tracker until late 2017. The S-2Ts were transferred from the Taiwan Naval Aviation fleet to the Air Force in April 2013. Luckily, they kept the same tasks as well as their striking colors! This 2205 showed the photographer the spread-my-wings technique.

Always great to see the corkscrew contrails coming from the propeller blades. In a high atmospheric humidity this effect is dramatically increased. Luckily, Taiwan is the right spot for such weather conditions.

Copy-cat !

C-130 heaven at Pingtun South. The Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan Air Force) 10th Transport Air Group (TAG) operates two squadrons with nineteen C-130H Hercules, and one C-130HE on strength. The C-130HE is the RoCAF spy plane.

Beautiful Tracker while warming up its engines

Awaiting a fresh coat of paint.

Seen in a somewhat disassembled state.

The first two-seat Starfighter model, the F-104B was ahead of its time in not receiving a TF designation, suggesting it was fully combat-capable. However, the F-104A's 20-mm cannon was omitted and internal fuel reduced. There were also quite a few other changes, and the definitive, FY 1957 machines had a 25 percent larger tailfin and rudder than the F-104A.

Actually US Navy machine 141309, this Warning Star is preserved in the museum at McClellan representing 53-0552, an aircraft once based here.

The F-111 was always a bomber, and in the end a 'strategic' variant was produced as the FB-111. This is the first FB-111 pre-production aircraft, first flown on 13 July 1968. According to some sources it ultimately became an F-111G.

The Skyraider belatedly entered US Air Force service in 1964 for the war in Vietnam. This A-1E is painted as an aircraft of the 1st Special Operations Squadron, although in reality this airframe did not leave the US Navy.

Painted as an aircraft of the 431st FIS 'Red Devils', based at Zaragoza in Spain in the early 1960s. The airframe is actually 56-1140.

This sleek 310 was added to Buffalo's fleet March 19, 2013. It was formerly with Air Spray Ltd, whose Red Deer hangar is next door.

Brought up to RC-12X standard.

This Shooting Star was assigned to the 36th Fighter Group at Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany, in 1949, and it is painted as an aircraft of the Group's 23rd FS.
