Starting out as 42-24081 and becoming an R4D-5 in 1943, c/n 9962 was modified to R4D-8 Super Dakota standard for the USN in 1952 (so gaining the new c/n) but was soon handed over to the USMC, although a period was spent back in the USN (Norfolk) around 1970. Lastly based at Beaufort MCAS, SC, she entered storage at DM four months before this shot and in 2.81 was registered N8502X, but ended up with Desert Airparts in 9.82

Here surrounded by KC-135s and F-111s, they were being broken up at quite a rate

The Control Configured Vehicle test NB-52E was fitted with three canard control surfaces (two horizontal and one ventral) which were linked to computers receiving flight data from sensors mounted throughout the aircraft monitoring turbulence, which fed back compensatory control inputs. Although here on 'Celebrity Row' next to the prototype for the Boeing 707, she was scrapped in 10.93

The Prowler was an entirely different aircraft to the EA-6A (modified from the A-6A) and was not based on the A-6B despite the designation. It carried a crew of four, the pilot and three ECM operators. This, the first of 170 built, was retained for development by the NATC at Patuxent River, MD, and arrived at MASDC three months prior to the photo date. From 1.99 she was preserved in 'Prowler Park' at NAS Whidbey Island, WA, the premier base for the type

From 1961, some 159 Caribous were delivered by DHC to the US Army as AC-1s, changed next year to CV-2. Serving widely in SE Asia, when responsibility for fixed-wing transports switched to the USAF in 1.67 they were re-designated C-7. This example joined the Army in 1.63 and wore the tail-codes 'KC' and 'KA' after allocation to the USAF and later 'GE' with the South Vietnamese AF in 1972. To MASDC 3.76 ('YK'). Registered N92NC in 7.90 but ntu; in Western Int'l yard 2006. Behind are 63-9739 and N43888
