In May 1993, a contract for four E-2T (T standing for Taiwan) was signed between the US and Taiwan. It had been announced that these E-2T would be rebuilt E-2B fitted with AN/APS-138 radars. The first two E-2Ts arrived in Taiwan by sea on 3 Sep 1995, followed by the second pair on 23 Sep 1995. Although the four E-2Ts all have E-2B Bureau Numbers, ROCAF officials claimed that they were in fact all new-built Hawkeyes, with only few E-2B parts used, so the aircraft is equivalent to the E-2C Group II standard, with the more advanced AN/APS-145 radar. The aircraft belong to 2nd Early Warning Squadron.

On 13 Jul 1999, the US DoD announced a sale of two E-2T Hawkeye 2000s to Taiwan. The first of the two Hawkeye 2000s was accepted by ROCAF officials at Northrop Grumman's St. Augustine facility on 10 Aug 2004. The second Hawkeye 2000 was received in October. Both aircraft, serialed 2505 and 2506, were transported to Taiwan by sea and arrived on 19 May 2005. The aircraft are assigned to the 2nd Early Warning Squadron at Pingtung-South. This 2506 was seen in its hangar at homebase Pingtung-South.

This brown/sand colored Fighting Falocn of the 64th Agressor Squadron at Nellis has a contrasting tail section, still paintd in primer. The aircraft collided with a Langley F-15C (serial 83-0017) over the Pacific Alaska Range Complex on 11 June 2007. The F-15 crashed but luckily the pilot ejected on time and was rescued, the F-16 pilot managed to land his aircraft safely in Alaska. The aircraft was damaged but repairable and by early November 2007 it was repaired and added again to the 64th. When I took the picture it just arrived from the repair depot at Hill AFB (UT).

A former East German Mi-14, serial 640, was transferred to the German Air Force after the wall came down. It became 9507 and was eventually donated to the Nellis AFB Threat Training Facility. The helicopter received within TTF US serial 91-03790 but this is not visible.

Inside the Nellis Threat Training Facility, this MiG-29 can be found. It is a former Moldova AF aircraft (ex 12 yellow) the USA bought to prevent resale to "bad" countries. It is c/n 2960717464 but carries '17473' on the canopy (possibly swapped with this one at some point in time).

The Nellis complex preserveres two MiG-29s, this one outside the Threat Training Facility, and another one inside the TTF. Both are former Moldova AF. This one is ex 16 white (still carried on the fin tip in this photo), which was initially painted as 309 red, as seen in this photo. Later repainted as 65 blue, then as 57 red. It has '17473' in the wheelbays.

This Lim-5 was believed to be named "Have Drill" by the 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron (4477th TES) Red Eagles. The aircraft is seen here in front of the Threat Training Facility at Nellis AFB. It is believed that this aircraft, a former Indonesian Air Force Lim 5 (serial unknowm), first flew for the 4477th from Tonopah in January 1969.

This former Indonesian Air Force MiG-21F13 (serial F-2153 or F 2153 or F2153, depending what source to researched) was transferred to the very secretive 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron "Red Eagles" (based at Tonopah) as part of the black Constant Peg programme in the sixties. This MiG-21F13 was called the HAVE DOUGHNUT article with the 4477th and was flown by US Navy and US Air Force System Command pilots during its 1968 exploitation. Red 64 was possibly the first of several Fishbeds acquired via Indonesia and used by the USAF. It carried possibly once USAF serial "004".

This former Egypt Air Force (serial 7643, c/n 7607 or 7407) Su-7BM Fitter is preserved in front of the Threat Training Facility (TTF) at Nellis AFB. The aircraft is painted in Iraqi Air Force colors. The history of the aircraft within the USAF is somewhat unclear, it could be that the aircraft was used in USAF tests in the seventies (as the HAVE UP programme), but other sources claim that was never the case and that this one arrived only for the TTF.

This CN235 started its life as EC-014 in Spain back in '88. The Casa was then delivered as EC-EMN to Binter Canarias in February 1989 and was withdrawn from use with that company in 1997. It saw new life with Luftmeister Air in May 1989 as ZS-OGF and three years later transferred to Tiko Air with the same registration. In November 2001 it changed to 5R-MKM with Tiko air and then it was sold to Presidential Airways in August 2006. This company is known as the shadow company of Blackwater. The BW in the regi reveals this a little. Since mid 2008 carried the registration N1269J with Presidential.
