Returned to service with 139th ARG and subsequently sold as N97KC. Photographer unknown

First flew as a JF-107A at Edwards AFB, CA in 1956. Redesignatged as an F-107A and loaned to NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) as NACA 207 in 1957/8. Then transferred to NASA in 1959. Fitted with the rear section of 55-5120 then stored with Tallmantz Aviation at Orange County, CA in the 1960s. To the museum in 1975, restored and repainted as 55-5118.

Delivered to the US Navy as an AD-5N in 1955. Converted to an AD-5Q in 1958. Redesignated as an EA-1F in 1962. To the museum in 1969.

This C-46 is painted as a Commando flying the "Hump" between India and China in 1944, after the Japanese had closed the Burma Road. Although the C-46 carried more cargo than the C-47 and offered better performance at higher altitudes, under these difficult flying conditions they required extensive maintenance and had a relatively high loss rate. 44-78018 was retired from USAF service at Howard AFB in Panama in 1968 and was flown to the museum in 1972 - my 1973 photo in its grey livery here

Arrived from MASDC a year earlier having been retired from service with the 605th Air Commando Squadron, 24th Composite Wing at Howard AFB, Panama in 1968. Now restored as an aircraft operating over the 'Hump" in WWII as per my December 2024 upload

Quite clear to what Air National Guard this Fighting Falcon belongs to! As of 2023, the 176th is converting to the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, with its first 5th gen jets having arrived on 25 Apr'23. The squadron previously operated these fine F-16C/D Fighting Falcon between 1993 and 2022. During our visit in May'17, the Wisconsin state, its governor and the 115th Fighter Wing with its 176th Fighter Squadron "Badgers" was already trying to get in lane for the F-35A. In Dec'17, the USAF announced that the 176th was one of two ANG squadrons selected for equipping with the F-35A

PC-21 for Spain in final assembly in Hangar 10

The Iraqi AF was among the first customer of the PC-9 and ordered 20 airframes around 1986, with deliveries starting in 1987. The assigned construction numbers were 144 through 163, while the serials were 5801 through 5820. The airframe pictured here in this stunning three tone camo taxies out from the Pilatus factory for a pre-delivery testflight. Already carrying the external fuel tanks needed for the ferry flight, it became 5818 / ٥٨١٨ in Iraqi service. Fate is not exactly known but it was probably rather short lived, as most Iraqi AF assets were destroyed during the 1st Gulf War in 1991.
