The FH-1 Phantom the first all-jet aircraft operated by the USN and USMC being delivered from 1947, but with the rapid progress of jet aircraft at the time, was already obsolete within a couple of years and was withdrawn from front-line service in 1949, although it carried on with the reserves till 1954, by which time the McDonnell FH-2 Banshee and Grumman F9F Panther had taken over. This example was unusual in that it went on to be civil registered as N4283A in 1966 with Progressive Aero as a trainer. Now restored in the colours it wore in service with VMF-122, MCAS Cherry Point, NC

After successful service in the Korean War, the F3D remained in service until 1970 as a trainer and electronic warfare aircraft. This one is in the marks of VMFT(N)-20 although it didn't serve that squadron, instead spending nearly all of its service career with various Navy units. Until repainted around 2010, it was displayed in original but dilapidated white Navy colours and 'NJ' tail code.

The Bolo was the USAAC's standard bomber in pre-war years and was based on the DC-2. Obsolete by the time the US entered the war in December 1941, several were modified as B-18B sub hunters. The last time I'd photographed this aircraft was in 1979, well before it was restored to USAAF colours. At that time it was under civil registration N66267 with scrubbed "Roberts Aircraft - Dusting Spraying - Boise Idaho" titles still visible on the natural metal fuselage. Now displayed in the 1942 marks of 25th Antisubmarine Wing, 4th Antisubmarine Sqdn, Langley AAF, VA

This aircraft was converted from its EC-135C status by E-systems for the 'Night Watch III' command post role with the 1000th ACCS at Andrews AFB in 1966 and was redesigned as an EC-135J in 1967. Reassigned to 1st ACCS in 1969 and demodified in 1975 when communications equipment was removed to be used in the replacement E-4A program. The aircraft then took on the 'Blue Eagle' role with the 9th ACCS at Hickam AFB which provided secure comms between CINCPAC HQ in Hawaii and US naval forces throughout the Pacific. Before being placed on display, the tail of EC-135P 55-3129 was substituted.

The unique overhead jet intake configuration of the F-107 development of the F-100 was to allow for carrying weapons partially submerged in the aircraft's belly. After being beaten by the F-105 in a completion to provide the USAF with a new all-weather fighter-bomber, two of the three F-107 prototypes were used by NACA for X-15 control system testing. 55-5119 is also preserved, in the National Museum of the USAF

Awaiting its turn for a repaint, seen here in the marks of the 363rd TRW, Shaw AFB, SC around 1970. The B-57E version was built specifically for aerial target towing work although it could be converted to bomber configuration, this one being so modified in 1965.

Awaiting its turn for a repaint, seen here in the marks of the 363rd TRW, Shaw AFB, SC around 1970. The B-57E version was built specifically for aerial target towing work although it could be converted to bomber configuration, this one being so modified in 1965.

While the YC-14 had impressive short field performance and could land at speeds as low as 99mph, neither it nor the competing McDonnell Douglas YC-15 were selected as C-130 replacements, the USAF settling in the early 1970s for improved versions of the Hercules instead.

Each squadron that flew Delta Daggers was assigned two trainers as well to help pilots adjust to the type's demanding handling characteristics. A total of 111 TF-102s were ordered but only 63 were built. This one is in the colours of the 525th FIS, Bitburg AB, West Germany in 1962, although it appears that 54-1366 was with the 526th FIS (Ramstein) at this time, not being assigned to the 525th utill 1969 and following two more unit changes.
