The USAF ordered 10 'B' version Raiders intended for use as Artic rescue aircraft. However it was found to be underpowed and somewhat overtaken by the rapid rise in helicopter capabilities and so all were declared suplus by 1955. This example is in reality 48-626 but is painted to represent YC-125B 48-622, which was used for cold weather testing and based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH in 1950. It has been on display at the National Museum of the USAF since the early 1990s.

This is not the original 82-1070 'Spirit of Ohio', rather one of two additional aircraft Northrop constructed without engines or instruments for fatigue testing. This example was used for stress testing on the airframe (it was discovered that the wings could withstand 161% of the design specs stress load before cracking) before being retired to the National Museum of the USAF for display.

It was such a thrill to walk amongst all these magnificent, iconic aeroplanes and the mightily impressive B-1 is right up at the top of the list. This Bone served previously with the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess and is a Operation Desert Fox combat veteran but was retired to the museum during Sept. 2002.

The F-82 was the last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the USAF but had a rather short operational life being phased our in favour of the F-84 Thunderjet. Intended for long-range escort it arrived too late for WWII but did see action in the Korean War. In Feb. 1947 ' Betty Joe' flew nonstop from Hawaii to New York without refueling, this remains as the longest nonstop flight ever made by a propeller-driven fighter. She arrived at the National Museum of the USAF in 1957.

Originally 132649 with the Navy, when the USAF took it on strength they gave it an s/n compatible with their system by adding the FY number. The NMUSAF lists it officially as 52-132649. This Skyraider was flown by Maj. Bernard Fisher on 10th March 66 to rescue another pilot shot down over South Vietnam, an action for which Fisher was awarded the Medal of Honor. The aircraft was sevely damaged in combat and came to the National Museum of the USAF in 1967 for restoration and preserveration.

Production Komets were not ready for operational use until July 1944 and only 279 had been delivered by the end of the war. The sole operational Komet group, JG 400, scored nine kills while losing 14 of its own aircraft. This example never flew and was most probably deliberately sabotaged by the French forced labourers that built it. The hulk was restored by the Canadian National Aviation Museum and acquired by the National Museum of the USAF for display in 1999.

The Scorpion is painted in red Artic markings to represent a 449th FIS aircraft based at Ladd AFB, Fairbanks, AS during the late 1950s. It is in reality 52-1911, a Maine ANG aircraft, and was the last ever F-89 with an operational unit. Note also the Allison J35-A-35A turbojet engine alongside.

The Scorpion is painted in red Artic markings to represent a 449th FIS aircraft based at Ladd AFB, Fairbanks, AS during the late 1950s. It is in reality 52-1911, a Maine ANG aircraft, and was the last ever F-89 with an operational unit. Note also the Allison J35-A-35A turbojet engine alongside.

This P-12 was delivered to the USAAC in Dec. 1933 and served until a landing accident at Chicago-Midway in May 1940 ended it's flying career. Now beautifully restored and on display at the super National Museum of the USAF.
