The Puerto Rico ANG (or PRANG) was the last operational user of the Starfighter in the USAF (1968-75); never common in American use, the only others by this time were the natural finish aircraft of the Luftwaffe training unit at Luke AFB, AZ. Nice to see another Lockheed classic sharing the ramp. Langley AFB was the first airbase in the US, opened 1916

At the time the world's last surviving civilian Strat, this one was delivered to Northwest as 'Stratocruiser Chicago' on July 10, 1949. Stored by Aero Spacelines, but they did not use it in their Guppy conversion programme. Seen here still in basic NW colours, not long before being broken up - such a shame

Visiting Bykovo is always a gamble - you never know whether it's going to be worth the photo fees. I was delighted to see this rarity land just before entering the ramp. Polet suspended operations in 11.14 and the An-30 was placed in store at Voronezh

Just over a month before this shot was taken from a Cessna 172, the famous Starlifter 'Hanoi Taxi' arrived at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton to mark the end of an era as the last eight of the type were finally withdrawn. Here surrounded by KC-135s and F-111s, they were being broken up at quite a rate

Delivered to Cubana December 1968 and wfu by 1999; was due for conversion to restaurant but probably since b/u. It was a bit tricky negotiating access to this remote apron, near to where the new terminal has since been built, but well worth it - two IL-18s, IL-14, DC-3, Yak-40...

First with Rousseau Aviation after being registered as G-AYIR by HS in 1970, this 748 ended its days in Canada with Wasaya. Burnt out when parked after arrival at Sandy Lake Airport, ON for a fuel drop off. Note the custom-fit hangar doors to keep the cold out in this 1988 record. When I shot C-FTTW in the same place two years earlier, it was still in ex-Air Botswana colours

Never a common sight, only 19 of this avant-garde design were built between 1971 and 1977. Both of these ended their time in Germany, F-GATG being broken up in 1980 and the other one used for spares by VFW

Jumbos were never widely used by Delta until much more recently as a result of the Northwest takeover, but they could be seen on Heathrow schedules for a short period back in the Seventies. And they will have the distinction of being the last US airline to operate them on passenger services. N9900, seen here taking off from runway 10R in September 1974, was a 1971-build Srs 100 converted to a freighter in 1977. Went to Flying Tigers as N805FT being taken over by FedEx as N625FE; ended up as Kalitta's N709CK and and scrapped at Oscoda, MI (the old Wurtsmith AFB) in 2015
