The Sikorsky-designed R-6A two-seat observation helicopter was a refined version of the R-4, the first AF helicopter to serve in a combat zone. First flown in Oct. 1943, the R-6A used the same rotor and transmission system as the R-4 but it had a more powerful Franklin engine. With its fuselage completely redesigned to reduce air resistance and improve pilot visibility the R-6A bore little resemblance to its boxy-looking predecessor. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.

This P-63 is in reality 43-11728 but is on display at the National Museum of the USAF painted in the unusual colour scheme of a 'pinball' RP-63A. Aerial gunnery students fired at these manned target aircraft (RP-63A and RP-63C) using .30-cal. lead and plastic frangible machine gun bullets which disintegrated harmlessly against the target's external armor plating. Special instruments sent impulses to red lights in the nose of the 'pinball' aircraft, causing them to blink if a hit was registered.

A somewhat incongruous sight amidst lots of shiny new 747-8s and 787s. I hope that somehow the Museum of Flight manage to find the time/space/money/manpower to restore this important piece of Boeing heritage back to her former glory.

The EC-135 was a command and control version of the Stratolifter that had been modified for Operation Looking Glass missions. During the Cold War these aircraft were continually airborne to serve as flying command platforms in the event of nuclear war. This plane served with the 4th ACCS/28th WG and was retired to AMARG during June 1992 with the PCN/Inventory No. AACA0022.
