This was the second of three X-15 a/c. After a mishap, it was rebuilt into an improved version. This included external propellant tanks for longer burn time and a slightly longer fuselage. In October 1967, being flown by Pete Knight, this X-15 set a speed record of Mach 6.7 (4,520 miles per hour) which still stands today. Transferred to the museum in 1969 after the X-15 program ended.

Built as VC-54C USAAF s/n 42-107451. This was the first a/c outfitted for presidential use. It was used once by Franklin Roosevelt, that being his flight to Yalta and back in 1945. On that flight it was marked with a false serial number on the vertical fin. The a/c has been restored to the markings for that flight. Later used by President Harry Truman from 1945 through 1947 when it was replaced by a VC-118. This photo was taken in the old presidential a/c hangar (the a/c were wedged in, not good for photography!). Now on display in the new Presidential Gallery in the main museum.

The second of five XH-26 helicopters built. Powered by an American Helicopter XJ49-AH-3 pulsejet on each rotor tip (red cylinder on right side of photo) each producing 35 lbs. of thrust. It performed well but was very noisy and the blade tip motor location precluded engine out autorotations. It was not put into production.

This U-4B was used by President Dwight Eisenhower from 1956 - 1960 for flights from Washington, D.C. to his farm in Gettysburg, VA. From 1961 - 1969 it was used by high ranking government officials for shorter flights. Transferred to the USAF Academy in 1969 and used by the skydiving team through 1977. After a short stint in storage at Tucson, it was assigned to the Nebraska Civil Air Patrol. It was acquired by the museum in 1996 from a private owner and put on display. It is currently in the Presidential Aircraft Gallery.

1970: TOS USAF and assigned to Armament Development and Test Center, Eglin AFB, FL.

Colin Clarke who received the Air Force Cross for actions in a rescue support mission in Vietnam. 1991: Replaced at the Museum by the real 70-0970 and was then donated to the VFW post in Wausau, WI where it is currently displayed.

This is the fuselage of the second of two XF-90 a/c built. After two years of flight testing it was retired to the Nevada Test Site. There, it was subjected to three atomic bomb tests in 1952. Recovered by the USAF Museum, part of the decontamination process included removing all rivets in order to purge radioactive sand particles. The XF-90 is located in the restoration hangar and is not on display.
