Perhaps favourite of my C-97 shots, this was one of the highlights of the first Greenham show. Fortunately now preserved at Volk Field in Wisconsin - appropriate as she flew with the 128th ARW, Wi ANG, out of Milwaukee

From 1961, some 159 Caribous were delivered by DHC to the US Army as AC-1s, changed next year to CV-2. Serving widely in SE Asia, when responsibility for fixed-wing transports switched to the USAF in 1.67 they were re-designated C-7. This example joined the Army in 1.63 and wore the tail-codes 'KC' and 'KA' after allocation to the USAF and later 'GE' with the South Vietnamese AF in 1972. To MASDC 3.76 ('YK').

A total of 107 B-47Bs were modified as trainers by the additional of a 4th seat for the instructor and deletion of the tail turret. This one went on to be designated as a JTB-47B in 1957 but reverted to TB-47B although redesignated NTB-47B in 1961. Was displayed at Florence Air and Space Museum from 1965, but more recently moved to the Mighty Eighth Heritage Museum, Pooler, GA, near Savannah Airport

This rescue helicopter was formerly displayed at Travis AFB, CA. The Huskie was notable for its intermeshing wooden rotors and was extensively used in Vietnam for recovery missions, and later for airbase fire-crash duties, known by the callsign "Pedro". Around 250 were built of which about a dozen have been preserved

The very first Starlifter to be built, making her maiden flight on 17.12.63, the 60th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers first flight. Spent entire career as a test aircraft with AFSC at Wright-Patterson in numerous programs, the last being to test a new tension rope for NASA towing a QF-106 in the air. One of four early C-141A's not converted to C-141B standard, all 270 in the main fleet undergoing the stretch. Joined C-141B 64-0626, parked alongside in 'lizard' camouflage
