This F-84F was acquired by the museum in 1980. It is in the markings it wore in 1955 when assigned to the 389th Fighter Bomber Squadron of the 366th Fighter Bomber Wing. Morning sun shining in the hangar making for a difficult exposure setting!

This T-33 spent its entire USAF career in various Air Defense Command (ADC) squadrons. It was used for instrument proficiency flying, and each ADC squadron had a T-33 assigned to it. It is still in the markings of the 13th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, its last unit. The museum acquired the a/c in 1981 from a city park in Vborg, S.D. It was in derelict condition, having been vandalized, with holes in the fuselage and other damage. Another wonderful restoration by the museum.

This a/c was one of the few F-105s to never see combat in Vietnam. In 1983 was the last F-105D retired from active service. It was transferred to the museum in 1992.

This TA-4J was retired from Training Squadron 7 at NAS Meridian and flown to the museum in October 1999. The Combat Air Museum has a very nice collection of aircraft and all except the C-121 are inside (when I visited in 2015). However, it does make it a little harder in places to get a good photo as the a/c are close together. The large orange object in the foreground is the left wing tip tank for T-33A 52-9632.

Although marked as a USMC Skynight, this a/c spent its military career with the USN. It was assigned to VC-4, VF-11, VF-14, and VF-101. Acquired by the museum in bad condition in 1988, once again the Combat Air Museum has produced a fine restoration.

This CH-53 had a varied career, being assigned to the US Navy, US Marines, NASA, the FAA (with civilian reg. N39), and finally back to the US Navy. Due to permanent modifications by NASA it could not be put back in CH-53A configuration hence the NCH-53A designation. On loan to the museum from the National Naval Aviation Museum since 1999.

This is the first Meyers OTW built, with a first flight on 10 May 1936. During WW 2 this a/c was used by the US Government as a trainer with the Civilian Pilot Training Program. After the war it was converted to a crop duster. It was bought and restored by Mr. D.L. Denly of Osceola, IA. He installed a 165HP Warner Super Scarab engine. The museum acquired the a/c from Mr. Denly in 1986.

Built in 1946 as a civilian 24W-46 model. In 1961 this a/c had an accident, and the remains were eventually donated to the museum in 1991. It was nicely restored to a UC-61K version with a Ranger six cylinder inline engine and painted in RAF markings.
