This DC-8 was originally delivered to Alitalia as I-DIWK in May 1969. It also flew for a while with Braniff before joining NASA in July 1986. At the time of upload the frame is still current with the agency.

This very interesting U-2S is permanently assigned to flight test duties at Palmdale, it carries 'WR' tailcode as USAF's U-2 program management is based at Warner-Robins AFB, GA. Please note the golden area beneath the wing, when decending from high and cold altitude the freezing cold fuel remaining in the wing tanks creates ice on the underside as the aircraft enters the warm and humid air close to the ground. A long nose and many antennas have been fitted to the aircraft as well.

This Wild Weasel Thud was TOC by the USAF on 23rd November 1963 as a F-105E. It was converted to a -G in 1968 and went on to be based at Korat RTAFB during the SE Asia conflict and was eventually SOC in 1980. It went on to become part of the NMUSAF Loan Program and is pictured undergoing restoration at the Joe Davis Heritage Airpark.
