On display at Planes of Fame Air Museum, this Natter (Adder) replica lies with its nose cone removed to show a battery of 24x73mm Föhn rockets. The partly reusable interceptor powered by a Walter rocket motor and jettisonable solid fuel rocket motors was to be launched from a ramp to intercept bombers. The first VTO launch on 28 Feb 1945 resulted in the death of the test pilot. Due to interest by Himmler, the SS ordered 150 Natters, with 50 for the Luftwaffe. Ten Natters known as K-Maschinen were operationally deployed for Krokus-Einsatz near Stuttgart but never launched by end of the war.

On display at IAF Museum Palam wearing the emblem of No. 8 Sqn "Eight Pursoots". First inducted into the IAF in April 1963, the MiG-21F-13 or Type 74 equipped No. 28 Sqn "First Supersonics" under Wg Cdr Dilbagh Singh. This was followed by the PF and finally the FL or Type 77, which was licence manufactured by HAL. The FL was used to good effect in the 1971 Indo-Pak War on both fronts. In the West, FLs from No. 47 Sqn "Black Archers" and No. 29 Sqn "Scorpions" shot down four PAF F-104s without loss, clearly besting the Starfighter. The last IAF FLs were decommissioned in Dec. 2013.

On display at Planes of Fame Air Museum, this is "Wrong Way" Corrigan's Robin. An aircraft mechanic, Douglas Corrigan worked on Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, pulling the chocks away for the historic flight. Determined to emulate Lindbergh, he bought the Robin and began to modify it till it was deemed unfit for a trans-Atlantic flight. Nevertheless, Corrigan took off from New York on 17 Jul 38 heading east and landed in Ireland after 28h 13m. Claiming it to be a navigational error due to disorientation in the clouds, he was honored on his return with a ticker-tape parade down Broadway.

On display at the Museum of Flight. This is the ultimate -1 variant that saw many improvements, including the addition of a 160 gal. jettisonable centreline tank and the carrying of two 1,000lb bombs on stub-wing pylons. Goodyear was responsible for many modifications. Built in April 1945, this aircraft was assigned to CV-11 USS Intrepid. It was transferred to NAS Sand Point, Seattle in 1950 and ditched in Lake Washington after a mid-air collision with another Corsair. It was recovered from a depth of 183 feet in 1983, after which restoration started.

On display in the Great Gallery at the Museum of Flight in the markings of the 389th TFS, 366th TFW based at Da Nang AB in Vietnam. The wing earned the nickname "Gunfighters" after successfully modifying the 20mm SUU-16 Gatling gun pod to the centreline of its Phantoms on the insistence of Korean War ace Frederick "Boots" Blesse. Using this interim solution, Speedo flight scored the first ever F-4 gun victories against two NVAF MiG-17s on 14 May 1967, leading to 8th TFW adopting the gun pod. This Phantom is credited with three MiG-21 kills in 1967 while serving with 389th TFS.
