Arriving for what will be its last appearance at RIAT, the T-43A is due to be withdrawn from service in 2011. Currently operated by 12 FTW at Randolph AFB.

Preserved within Ailes Anciennes de Toulouse museum. Wearing a fake USAF registration, it really is 51-10809.

Can now be seen preserved at March Field Museum

Air to air refueling over east of Turkey during "Provide Comfort" operation. A-10 from 81 TFW / 92 TFS

Seen in a slow flypast at an International Air Tattoo. This aircraft was based at the now closed Upper Heyford airbase in Oxfordshire.

It is said that 90,000 people turned out for the XC-99's first flight. This transport derivative of the B-36 bomber never made much sense, and the wheel pressure caused by the original undercarriage even ensured there were very few places it could fly to! Its last flight was on 19 March 1957, following which it was preserved at Kelly AFB in San Antonio, TX. It was acquired by the USAF Museum in 1993, but it took 15 years before the aircraft was actually moved to their main facility in Dayton, OH, in early 2008. In 2012 the disassembled XC-99 was moved again, this time to Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona for storage. It is said that restoration could take more than 30 years.

Delta-winged interceptor prototype. First flew 18.09.48. Just supersonic. Last flew 1953. Experience gained led to the F-102.

Seen making a slow flypast at an International Air Tattoo. Note the extended airbrake and forward position of the wings. The noise was amazing when they did this !
