"Candy Clipper" in the hangar at Fantasy of Flight museum. This airworthy Duck was built in 1945. It is named after the famous J2F-4 Duck that served on Bataan in the Philippines, being the last aircraft to leave the besieged island in 1942. The aircraft was bought by Kermit Weeks in 1983. The last variant of Duck to be built by Grumman was the J2F-5 powered by a 950 hp Wright R-1820-50 engine. After Pearl Harbor 330 J2F-6 Ducks with a 1,050 hp R1820-54 engine were ordered. The amphibians were built by Columbia Aircraft Corporation at Valley Stream, Long Island, of which this is one.

D-558-II NACA 144 and NACA 145 launches are represented on the panels.

Inside the hangar at Fantasy of Flight museum. This Thunderbolt was built in 1944 at Evansville, IN and delivered to the USAAF with s/n 44-32814. It went to Fuerza Aérea Venezolana (FAV) in 1949 and served with Escuadrón Aéreo de Caza Nro 36 "Los Diaboles" till its Thunderbolts were replaced in 1956 with the F-86F. The 8-A-36 code indicates it was flown by Escuadrilla A of the squadron. The modified cowl flaps are visible from the later P-47 series, as is the retrofitted dorsal fin fillet in front of the tail to prevent flutter. The aircraft was acquired by Kermit Weeks in 2003.

Airworthy F3F-2 in the hangar at Fantasy of Flight museum. With an increased wingspan and longer length, USN's F3F single-seat fighter was successor to the F2F. It had Grumman's characteristic wheel wells in the forward fuselage. Delivery of the F3F-1 took place in 1936 to VF-5B and VF-6B. This was followed by the faster F3F-2 with a single-row 950 hp Wright R-1820-22 Cyclone engine, armed with one .30 cal and one .50 cal MG in the nose. The type was delivered to USN and Marine squadrons in 1937-38. This F3F wears the emblem of a blue wasp with boxing gloves of the first VF-7 squadron.

Inside the hangar at Fantasy of Flight museum. This is a 2004 reproduction built by Kim Kovach that was acquired by Kermit Weeks. The original "Ike" was a 1932 racer built by Ben Howard and Gordon Israel, along with a similar aircraft called "Mike." The racers were flown in a number of races in the 1930s, with "Ike" flown by Howard finishing with two firsts and a second in the 1932 National Air Races. In 1935 the aircraft was renamed "Miss Chevrolet" for the 1935 National Air Races. Its fuel system was modified to win the world's fastest inverted speed record.

White 45 on display at Fantasy of Flight museum. This I-16 Type 24 originally fitted with a 1,000 hp M-62R engine was one of six rebuilt in Russia in 1997 for the Alpine Fighter Collection from remains discovered in the Leningrad region. It was sold to CAF in 2001 and to Kermit Weeks in 2019. First flown on 31 Dec 1933, the I-16 was then on par with other fighter aircraft. Later outclassed, the 'Ishak' bore the brunt of the Luftwaffe's attack during the opening days of Op Barbarossa. A few I-16s from 123rd and 124th Fighter Aviation Regiment deliberately rammed Luftwaffe fighters in combat.
