In 1922 the Eberhart Steel Products Co received a contract to rebuild 50 of the Army Air Service's S.E.5A aircraft using 180hp Wright-Hispano E engines. The Army Air Service used these aircraft, redesignated the SE-5E, for advanced training. Donated from the estate of WWI ace Lt Col Lambert who flew the S.E.5A as an American member of the Royal Flying Corps, it is now presented as an SE-5E of the 18th HQ Sqdn, Bolling Field, Washington DC in 1925

Operation Creek Party, in which ANG and AFRes tankers supported active duty USAF and NATO units in Europe, ran for 10 years from 1967. The Stratofreighter on display at NMUSAF was converted in 1965 from KC-97G by the addition of two J47 jets to KC-97L and was flown by the 160th ARG, Ohio ANG when it participated in this operation. In June 1973, the mayor of Zeppelinheim, a town near Rhein-Main AB in West Germany, christened it in his town's honour. Having made a star appearance at the 1974 Air Tattoo at RAF Greenham Common, it was flown to the museum two years later

Built as a B-57B, 52-1499 was initially used at Wright-Patterson AFB for test work, being modified to JB-57B in 1960 as a high-altitude target and for camera calibration. In 1964 it was loaned to the Lear Jet Corp for more tests but in 1966 was converted back to B-57B standard, deploying with the 8th BS/35th TFW, Phan Rang, Vietnam for combat duties. Stored at MASDC from 1969, it was converted to EB-57B in 1972 and assigned to the 17th DSES/Kansas ANG then in 1979 to the 134th DSES/Vermont ANG. Flown to USAFM in 1981 and restored to its Vietnam colours in 2010

This Beaver spent ten years from 1953 serving in Japan. Civilianised as N9239, around 1975 it was put to work by the North Carolina Forest Service. Following delivery to the USAFM in 1980, it was put on display as seen here in 2003 in high visibility marks typical of USAF L-20/U-6 aircraft during the late 1950s and early 1960s

This was the last USAF HU-16 in operational service and established a world altitude record for twin-engine amphibians when it reached 32,883 ft in July 1973. Two weeks later it was retired and flown to the museum. Since being taken on strength in 1952 it had served in the US, Greenland, Germany, Canada, Japan and Philippines, ending up with the 301st ARRS at Homestead AFB, FL from 1967

Assigned to the 37th ARRS at Da Nang AB, S Vietnam, this HH-3 flew with the call sign "Jolly Green 22" in the SE Asia War. In March 1968 it was one of two HH-3s rescuing the crew of a downed USMC F-4. By the time its 32 months of service in Vietnam was complete, it had rescued a total of 27 airmen with many awards for bravery earned by the crews. At the end of March 1979, in another daring rescue mission by '709, 28 sailors were saved from a Taiwanese freighter that had run aground in the Yellow Sea. Retired after Desert Storm in 1991, it was restored by the museum in 2010

The Pave Low program modified 'Super Jollies' for operating clandestine, low-level missions in any weather, day or night. The aircraft at the NMUSAF was assigned to the 20th Expeditionary Special Operations Squadron and its last flight was a combat mission in Iraq in March 2008. During its 38-year career, this helicopter participated in many important missions including the intended 1970 rescue of American POWs thought to be held in a prison near Hanoi, North Vietnam, although It transpired that the prisoners had been moved out some time previously. The MH-53s were retired by AFSOC in 2008

The F-16 on display at the NMUSAF was one of the first to be received by the Thunderbirds in 1982 when they transitioned from T-38s. The team continued to fly this aircraft until 1992 when they converted to F-16Cs. It was then modified to operational condition and assigned to the Air Education and Training Command to train pilots at Luke AFB, AZ. On retirement in 1996 it was retired to Thunderbirds colours at Nellis AFB, NV before entering the museum in October that year

A total of 59 F-117A stealth aircraft were built between 1981 and 1990. This is the second, specially modified for systems testing by AFSC at Edwards AFB. In September 1985 the left tail fin broke away while the aircraft was pulling up during a weapons test, but the pilot was able to land safely earning him a DFC. The Air Force retired it to the museum in 1991 after the test program was completed. During Operation Desert Storm, the F-117As flew 1,271 sorties, achieving an 80% mission success rate and suffered no losses or battle damage
