Found in a park in Florala, Alabama and in good shape is this T-bird. Struck off charge 2 December 1965 at Eglin AFB, FL.

Taking off on Rwy 30 after a fuel stop on his way home.

Delivered in February 1955. According to the regulations, the tail number should have been 50298 from 1954. In Jim Tunney's 1973 colour photo of this airframe, this has changed to 0-50298 according to the clumsy 'older than ten years' rule, which had already been dropped by then.

This P-51 has been constructed from a combination of original parts of various Mustangs and newly manufactured parts. Approximately 60% of the aircraft comprises original North American Aviation built parts, most apparently from 44-63272. The paint scheme is that of an aircraft with the 3rd Air Commando Group in the Philippines in 1945

One of many T-38C in use at Columbus AFB to train US Air Force pilots, seen here returning to its sunshed.

In 1968 the Cavalier Aircraft Corporation modified two P-51 Mustangs with Dart engines in an attempt to interest the USAF in a lightweight counter-insurgency aircraft but having failed to do so, sold the design to Piper in 1979 who instead used the YT-55 turboprop in the two Enforcers they built. Despite looking like the Mustang, there was less than 10% commonality. First flown in 1983, the concept was successfully demonstrated but again no orders were forthcoming.

Later converted to VT-29C but clearly a Flying Classroom here with plenty of astrodomes. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

A little bounce on a very wet r30 as the aircraft arrives for fuel before heading homewards. I believe this aircraft to be with the 165th Airlift Squadron/123rd Airlift Wing Kentucky ANG at Standiford Field, Louisville.

One of many T-1A Jayhawks operated from Columbus AFB (MS) by 48 FTS seen here at its homebase.

Take off run on a very wet r30 and homeward bound after an overnight stop.

First delivered to the USAAF as 44-44175 in September 1944, this B-24 was passed straight on to the RAF as Liberator GR.VI KH304 that November. The British abandoned many Liberators in India at the end of the war, India putting several back into service after independence and using them until the late 1960s. After storage at Chakeri this aircraft was assigned the serial HE877 by the Indian AF in 1948. In March 1969 it was ferried from Poona to Tucson via the UK. Now displayed with Indian markings on the right side, with the left in the 1944 colours of the 446th BG, Bungay, Suffolk, England.
