This Connie was delivered to the USAF in 1955 as RC-121D 53-548 and converted to EC-121 standard eight years later. Her last base was Homestead and was the last EC-121T to be SOC and flown to MASDC in 1978. After being rescued from the boneyard by the Pima A&SM she was declared surplus to their needs, sold and, after restoration, appeared at air shows until being grounded by corrosion at Camarillo in 2000. Bought in 2005 by Yanks Air Museum she was finally ferried to CNO on 14th Jan. 2012.

Of all the thousands of Spifires produced this one, on display at the RAF Museum, is rather special. In total 1566 Mk.1s were built and this genuine Battle of Britain veteran is the oldest surviving such airframe and, therefore, the oldest Spitfire anywhere!

One of the exhibits at the Gifu Air Base Museum and taken during the base open day. I waited as late as possible after the flying display before photographing the exhibits in order to reduce the number of people in the background. As you can see, I was about to lose the sun so couldn't wait any longer.

Obviously a Chinese derivative of the B-29 but note that turboprop engines have replaced the piston originals.

The Tupolev Tu-28 (NATO reporting name Fiddler) was a long-range interceptor aircraft introduced by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. The type is notable as it is the largest and heaviest fighter ever to enter service. This prototype is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

During my day at this wonderful museum I photographed two unmarked Z-6s in this blue and grey scheme. The only obvious difference between the two was that this one had the engine air intake blocked off, whereas the second Z-6 (visible behind) had the intake open.

On 3rd Jan. 1970, whilst on operations over Vietnam's Tay Ninh province, this Cobra was hit by a .51 calibre bullet in the cockpit. Unfortunately the shell severed an artery in the pilot's leg and he (AC Gene Olsen) bled out before the co-pilot/gunner could reach a medevac helipad. This poignant exhibit is now on display at the American Helicopter Museum.

Reported as both 42-4949 and 42-19027 both of which were recovered by David Tallichet in the early 70s. This P-39 has two kills from its time stationed in the Pacific with the 5th AF. It was abandoned on Tadji airfield, PNG during July 1944 until recovered by Yesterday's AF/MARC in 1974. 'Small Fry' is now on display at the Planes of Fame Museum.
