This F-104G, actually owned by the German Luftwaffe with shadow serial "20+21", was transferred later to the Republic of China Air Force in 1983 where it flew with serial "4368". On March 24th, 1990 it was lost when it crashed during bad weather into a field near Hsinchu Air Base. This slide is part of my private collection and picture was taken by Bob Boyd.

This P-47N-5-RE S/N 44-89320 was one of the last production Thunderbolts built at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale, NY. It is displayed in the markings of the 463rd Fighter Squadron, 507th Fighter Group while stationed at Ie Shima Island near Okinawa. Serial is painted under tailplane. It is still in potentially flyable state and when I photographed it in 1979 (see here) it carried registration N345GP. It spent its operational career with by the PR ANG after resignation as an F-47N in 1948. From 1954 it was preserved in Puerto Rico and was restored to flying condition in 1972

Built as P-51D-5-NA 44-13571 by North American at Inglewood, CA, by 1945 this aircraft was in operation with the 354th Fighter Squadron, 355th Fighter Group at RAF Steeple Morden, England and was previously displayed here at the Armament museum in those marks. The recent repaint is as an aircraft of the famous Tuskegee Airmen (68-serial at rear). In 1967 it had been rebuilt as a Cavalier Mustang at Sarasota, FL and operated by the US Army from Edwards in support of flight testing of the AH-56 Cheyenne among others. My 1979 photo in different marks coded 'WR-U' can been seen here

Built as P-51D-5-NA 44-13571 by North American at Inglewood, CA, by 1945 this aircraft was in operation with the 354th Fighter Squadron, 355th Fighter Group at RAF Steeple Morden, England and was previously displayed here at the Armament museum in those marks. The recent repaint is as an aircraft of the famous Tuskegee Airmen (68-serial at rear). In 1967 it had been rebuilt as a Cavalier Mustang at Sarasota, FL and operated by the US Army from Edwards in support of flight testing of the AH-56 Cheyenne among others.

Displayed in the markings carried during WWII while based in England, this P-51 was re-manufactured as a Mustang T.2 by Cavalier Aircraft Corp in 1967 with s/n 68-15796 for the US Army, used as a chase plane for flight trials between 1967 and 1975 from Edwards AFB, including the AH-56 Cheyenne program. My December 2024 shows it as now presented indoors

This F-80C, actually 49-0432, is marked as 49-713 of 16th FIS/51st FIG, Kimpo, Korea, as flown by Lt. RJ Brown when he downed a MiG-15 in the first all-jet air battle on 8 Nov1950. Interestingly the true identity was added in small figures under the tailplane. 49-0432 was based at Elmendorf Field, AK with 66th FS/57th FG when in April 1951 it force landed after engine failure. With the 29th TS/452nd TBG at Long Beach, CA it was damaged in a mid-air collision in March 1955. Sold to Uruguayan AF as 218 in August 1958 and returned to US in 1970. My 1979 photo as 90432 here

This is one of the F-111Es that would have been familiar to British enthusiasts as it was based at RAF Upper Heyford with the 79th TFS/20th TFW from the mid-1970s. By 1979 it had been transferred to the 40th Flight Test Squadron here at Eglin, as shown in my photo here. Retired to the museum in 1992
