Chanute AFB was still open when this slide was taken. After being used as a ground instructional airframe at Chanute, this a/c was put on display at the base from 1949 through 1992. From 1993 through 2015 it was on display at the Chanute Air Museum. When the museum closed in 2015 it was transferred to the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB Georgia where it is currently on display.

USAF F-35A 19-5495 495th FS /48th FW Lakenheath. Reformed Fighter Squadron Valkyrie's, this aircraft 'the Boss Bird', tail markings other based aircraft do not wear.

The Fokker F.IV was a large single-engined airliner. Only two were built for the US Army as their T-2 transport. Lt Kelly and Lt Macready made the first non-stop flight across the US, from Long Island to San Diego, in 64233 on 2 and 3 May 1923. The aircraft exceeded its regular maximum take-off weight by 42%! The two also stayed airborne for 36 hours on 16 and 17 April. The F.IV had a single-seat cockpit so a door to the cabin was installed to allow them to relieve each other, with an extra set of controls in the cabin. The serial 64233 is a sequential number which pre-dates the fiscal year system introduced in 1922. The aircraft is seen with a small Verville-Sperry M-1 Messenger. Photo from: Library of Congress

WYLIE 65 KC-135R seconds from touching down after leaving Topeka and the bad weather behind. One of five Kansas ANG jets on a weather evac to March ARB this afternoon.

Originally an HC-130E, this surveillance C-130H was attacked by two Peruvian Su-22s during an anti-drug mission from Panama. Six of the crew were injured and one man was sucked out of the aircraft through a hole. A large hole is visible below the low-viz roundel. According to the Americans, the C-130 was 'clearly marked as a USAF aircraft' - it could certainly have been clearer. It was flown home to be written off. Photo from: Life

This T-bird was sold to Mexico as 4046 in 1992. The aircraft is preserved at Gran Bosque Urbano, Saltillo (Mexcio) since late 1993. The exact date and location of picture are both unknown.

In 1973 this aircraft along with a few others were on display at the Air National Guard Base at the airport.

Most probably pictured at homebase Grand Forks (ND) when serving the 37th ARRS. The Huey was stored on 26 May 1998 at Davis Monthan with inventory code HF0212. It was still there in early 2021.

Delivered to USAAF in 1945 as P-51D 44-74216. Later transferred to the USAF Museum Loan Program, who loaned the a/c to the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park. This took place in 1972 or earlier. It was damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It has since been restored and is on display inside the Aircraft Pavilion.
