Beautiful prop action.

This early manufactured F/A-18A (Block 4) was delivered to the US Navy with BuNo 161214 on 8 August 1980. The aircraft served Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 4 and then VFA-125 from October 1982. It was converted to F/A-18A(R) and was assigned to the NATC from October 1985. The Hornet was transferred to the NASA on 28 August 1987 and became 161214 with code NASA 842 (as pictured). Later it was (unconfirmed) reported as N817NA with code NASA 842. It was stored at Edwards in May 1995 and was cannibalized. Since 13 February 1997 preserved with the Jethawks Stadium at Lancaster (CA).

This C-130H (Tp84 in Sweden) was support for the three JA37s taking part in the air show at Sion.

Sitting somewhat forlorn near Australian Navy Base HMAS Albatross is this former Navy S-2E N12-153597. This aircraft together with S-2G N12-152334, which was parked nearby, were both bought by a Keith Boundy to prevent them going to the scrapper. Unfortunatly a bush fire in 2019 destroyed N12-152334 and severly damaged N12-153597.
