Delivered to American as NC15591 in 1940. To TWA in 1942. Reregistered as N15591 after 1948. To other operators after 1952. Reregistered as N138D in 1957. To the Museum of flight in 1987.

This former Moroccan Air Force MiG-17 was later repainted to represent a Vietnamese aircraft with fake serial 7469.

Designed as a STORL tactical military transport aircraft, the YC-14 was Boeing's entry into the Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition. It was aimed to replaced the C-130 as the USAF's standard STOL tactical transport. Although the YC-14 and the competing McDonnell Douglas YC-15 were succesful, neither aircraft went into production. The AMST project was ended in 1979 and replaced by the C-X program. The C-X program eventually led to the development of the C-17 Globemaster.

The first of two and built between 1972 and 1976. The aircraft was only active for a short time, as it was transferred to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC) in April 1980, with inventory number CW0002. Loaned to the Pima Air & Space Museum near Tucson, AZ, in March 1981.

On display in the Personal Courage Wing at the Museum of Flight. This replica was begun in 1971 and completed in 1988. It is in the markings of American ace Lt. George A. Vaughn, who served with No. 84 Sqn. RAF in May 1918.

Taking off on what I assume is the first flight of the aircraft. It was used for research of STOL capabilities, using a new wing, engines and lift characteristics. The aircraft demonstrated its STOL performance by operating aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk without a need for catapult launch or landing arresting gear.

The QSRA was created in the late 1970's/early 1980's for experimental flight research, aimed at developing technology for quiet short haul commercial airliners with short take off and landing capabilities. The aircraft was remanufactured from the DHC-5 Buffalo. Boeing created an all-new wing incorporating boundary layer control, four Lycoming turbofans which exhaust over the upper surfaces of the wings and new engine nacelles and cross-ducting Coanda flaps. This made it possible to research upper surface blowing, which allowed the aircraft to fly at very high lift coefficients.

Built in 1956 as a Beech E18S-9700 and registered as N42E. To N4288 in 1967. Converted to an ATE Westwind I trigear in 1969 then to a Hamilton Westwind III tailgear in 1972. To N4288T in 1979 and N924J in 1980. Operated by Methow Aviation from 1989 to 1991. Still current on the register in 2020.

Prototype F-5A on display in the Great Gallery at the Museum of Flight. Northrop's Chief Experimental Test Pilot Lewis A. Nelson took it supersonic on its first flight at Edwards AFB on 30 July 1959. The T-38 was a successful USAF supersonic trainer, but it took seven years to get a production order for the F-5A that ultimately became a successful lightweight, low cost fighter-bomber with its high thrust-to-weight ratio J85-GE-13 engines.

On display at the Museum of Flight. Designed by Bill Lear, this prototype first flew on "Dec. 32, 1980", as recorded officially so that British government funding expiring in 1980 could continue to be enjoyed. Only three aircraft were built and they are all on display in US museums. The Lear Fan was built of composite materials which revolutionized the field of aviation, had a Y-shaped empennage and the pusher propeller was powered by a pair of P&W Canada PT6B-35F turboshafts. Ahead of its time, it ran into trouble with the FAA on gearbox issues.

On display at the Museum of Flight. This replica is Bestellnr. 535/17, likely from Jasta 6 as per its markings. The original triplane would have flown with Jagdgeschwader 1 comprising of Jagdstaffeln 4, 6, 10 and 11. The first fighter wing of the Luftstreitkräfte was created in June 1917 and commanded by Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen, the only logical choice. Along with the famous red triplane of the ace, a number of colourful aircraft made up the "Flying Circus", as it was referred to by RFC pilots.

On display at the Museum of Flight. Built in numbers, the D.V suffered from lower wing failures and was considered outdated by Manfred von Richthofen. This replica is painted in the markings of Oblt. Richard Flashar, commander of Jasta 5. Dragon Albatros W/n 5636/17 was handed over to Lt. Hans Joachim von Hippel, who succeeded in making a crash landing after combat on Feb. 18, 1918.

On display at the Museum of Flight. This razorback P-47D was built at Farmingdale in 1942 and delivered to the USAAF with s/n 42-8205. It went to Fuerza Aérea Boliviana around Nov 1949. After serving as a gate guardian, it was recovered from La Paz for restoration. "Big Stud" is painted in the markings of six-victory ace Col. Robert L. Baseler, CO from Jul 1943 to Apr 1944 of 325th FG in the MTO. The unit wore the distinctive black and yellow checkertail on its P-40s, P-47s and P-51s. The Curtiss Electric propeller hub, modified cowl flaps and bulged fuselage keel can be seen.

On display at the Museum of Flight. This is an original Pfalz D.XII that was brought for evaluation to the USA along with other aircraft after WWI. It was sold as war surplus before going to a museum, then was restored to flying condition and went to another museum. Used by the Luftstreitkräfte in numbers, the D.XII had a slow rate of roll and handled clumsily compared to the Fokker D.VII.

On display at the Museum of Flight. This twin-seat Quiet Star was designed to operate as an observation aircraft to spot night-time activity. It was equipped with a night vision and infrared downward-facing periscope that was operated by the observer in the front seat. The Quiet Star was nearly silent, and this aircraft, one of only 11 built served in Vietnam from 1970-72.

Replica completed in 1992 that is on display at the Museum of Flight. This Nieuport of l'escadrille N 62 is painted as "Zigomar 5" that was flown by French ace Paul Tarascon, known as "l'as la jambe de bois" or the ace with the wooden leg, who finished the war with 12 victories.

On display at Museum of Flight. Powered by a 1,580-hp Merlin 66, this Spitfire with a 'c' wing capable of being fitted with bomb racks was built at Castle Bromwich in early 1944. The Spitfire wears the code '5J-Z' of No. 126 (Persian Gulf) Sqn RAF after the unit returned from the Mediterranean theatre to the UK in April 1944. It participated in D-Day and shot down two Bf-109s on 14 Aug 1944. By Dec 1944 it went to No. 32 MU and into storage. In 1947 the aircraft was transferred to KLu, being shipped to India and Java, flying combat ops. It went to the Belgian AF in 1953 and to the USA in 1963.

"O'Reilly's Daughter" at the Museum of Flight. This P-40N has a low flight time of only 60 hours. It is painted in the markings of 1LT Philip E. Colman of the 26th FS, 5th FG, Chinese-American Composite Wing. Successor to the Flying Tigers and the China Air Task Force (CATF), the CACW was formed in Jul 1943 by Gen C. Chennault and equipped with the new P-40N. It comprised of American and Chinese pilots who trained at Karachi, India. CACW formed part of the 14th Air Force in the CBI theatre. At 378 mph the N was the fastest Warhawk after the plane was lightened and the rear canopy squared off.
