First two-seater F-15 produced; on loan to NASA from the USAF. At the time known as the F-15 ACTIVE - Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles (a program that runned from 1993-1999).

This Fiscal Year 1979 F/A-18B (Block 4) was delivered to the US Navy on 9 March 1981. It first served VFA-125 (NJ-521 and later NJ-501) and was then transferred as XF-27 with VX-4 in mid-1983. It was temporary assigned to NAWC-AD at Warminster before the jet was moved to NASA Dryden. It arrived there in mid-1995 and received 852 as a code on 7 September 1996. It assigned theoretical registration N852NA was not seen on the aircraft when it participated in the Edwards airshow.

First flight 1966, this Learjet was a true oldy! It is former an ASSESS airborne telescope aircraft. and served this laboratory from 1973 onwards. The 24A was then delivered NASA Ames (N702NA) where it was registered on 10 Jun'74. It was moved to Dryden on 9 Feb'98 as N805NA. The jet was sadly lost in an accident on 7 Jun'01 during a hard landing at Victorville (CA). The 24A was under control of the co-pilot who disengaged the yaw damper and entered a pilot induced lateral oscillation. The airplane rapidly decelerated and developed a high sink rate. It bounced several times and came to rest.

Delivered to the USAF on 15 February 1986, it served the 412th Test Wing up to October 2003 before it was transferred to the 40th FLTS at Eglin AFB (FL). It was then delivered to RAF Lakenheath where it was assigned to the 493rd FS. Following the retirement of F-15C/Ds at the UK base, the Eagle was then assigned to the 114th FS with the Oregon ANG. The F-15D the experienced an in flight emergency followed by a runway excursion after landing at Kingsley Field (OR). It came to a stop in an irrigation canal at the south side of the runway and is most probably written off. The sole pilot: ok!

Former TF-15A, redesignated to F-15B on 1 December 1977 and delivered to the USAF on 29 March 1978. The aircraft saw service at Holloman, Luke and Tyndall, before it arrived at Edwards AFB. It was a test aircraft up to late 2003, flown over to Eglin and stored at that location since.

This F-16B served the 412th Test Wing from 2000 to late 1992, was rebuilt to GF-16B and served as an instructional airframe with the 82nd TRW at Sheppard AFB (TX). It was scrapped at Tucson (AZ) by September 2009.

Rather dark day at the beach. At least a bit of color on this Prowler.
