On the apron at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum in the markings of VMF(AW)-333 "Flying Shamrocks" which was the first USMC unit to receive the F-8C on 6 Nov 1959. It traded its Crusaders for the F-4 Phantom II on 20 June 1968 that preceded entry of this F-8K into service. The Crusader flew supersonic on its maiden flight on 25 Mar 1955 and was the first American jet fighter to exceed 1,000 mph. Not easy to land on carriers, the F-8 was continuously improved with 87 F-8Cs rebuilt as the F-8K featuring wing pylons, an upgraded engine, cockpit and radar while retaining the ventral fins.

Nose section on display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. It is painted in the three tone SEA camouflage pattern with a gloss black underside. The two piece radome of the B-52D is visible, as are the small windows above the cockpit and square window to the rear. Flying out of Andersen AFB on a 5,400 mile round trip or from Kadena and U-Tapao AB, B-52s with the Big Belly modification logged a large number of sorties during Op Arc Light and Linebacker. This aircraft flew from all three bases during the Vietnam War. It wears the SAC and 4133rd Bomb Wing (P) "Black Barons" emblem.

On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. This O-2A was built in 1967 and assigned USAF s/n 67-21330, later put to civilian use. It was powered by a pair of push-pull 210 hp Continental IO-360-D engines. Intended to replace the O-1 Bird Dog, the type was used in the observation and FAC role during the Vietnam War by Tactical Air Support Squadrons (TASS), some of which operated at night over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. A total of 479 O-2As and 31 O-2Bs were built, with the latter undertaking psychological warfare missions. O-2As also equipped VNAF Observation Squadrons during the war.

On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. The lightweight Tiger was Grumman's first supersonic fighter. It was found to be underpowered by its Wright J65-W-6 engine, short on range and endurance. The F-11 served aboard carriers from 1956-61, equipping seven USN squadrons. It stayed on as a trainer and demo aircraft till 1969. Built in 1955, this short-nose Tiger served with Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River. It was struck off charge on 23 Feb 1960. Previously displayed at Admiral Farragut Academy, FL, it is painted as a Blue Angels aircraft that flew the type from 1957-69.

On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. This F-14 is painted in the colors of VF-41 "Black Aces" that operated the type from Apr 1976 to Oct 2001. On 19 Aug 1981 a pair of VF-41 Tomcats flying CAP from CVN-68 USS Nimitz was fired on by two Libyan Su-22s over the Gulf of Sidra. Both Libyan jets were shot down, marking the USN's first air combat since the end of the Vietnam War.

On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. This F-14 is painted in the colors of VF-41 "Black Aces" that operated the type from Apr 1976 to Oct 2001. On 19 Aug 1981 a pair of VF-41 Tomcats flying CAP from CVN-68 USS Nimitz was fired on by two Libyan Su-22s over the Gulf of Sidra. Both Libyan jets were shot down, marking the USN's first air combat since the end of the Vietnam War.

On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. The Noralpha was built on the design of the Messerschmitt Me-208, of which two prototypes were completed by Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord (SNCAN) at Les Mureaux in 1944. SNCAN was already building the Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun during occupied France in 1942, as production of less important aircraft were shifted out of Germany to bolster fighter production. The Me-208 was a larger version of the Taifun that featured a retractable tricycle undercarriage. This Noralpha built post-war carries the emblem of I./JG 27.

Airworthy "Yellow Peril" inside the hangar at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. With no flaps, retractable landing gear or a variable pitch propeller, these simple aircraft helped train thousands of USAAF and USN pilots in World War II. The N2S-3 Kaydet was powered by a 220 hp Continental R-670-4 engine. BuNo 07591 was accepted by the USN on 02 Feb 1943 at Wichita. The primary trainer went to NAS Memphis, 8ND in Feb 1943. It went to NAS Bunker Hill, 9ND in Sep 1943. In Oct 1944 it moved to NAAS Cabaniss, 8ND. The N2S-3 was stricken from USN service in Aug 1946.

This Canberra was built as a B.2 by Handley Page at Radlett, being delivered to the RAF in 1953 for familiarisation and work-ups by Canberra PR.3 crews with 540 Sqdn at RAF Benson. Moved to 57 Sqdn at Cottesmore and eventually sold to BAC in 1969, 'B' Class marks of G27-182 being allocated. After around five years it was re-delivered to the Royal Navy, now configured as a TT.18 target tug for the FRADU at Yeovilton, even completing a first sojourn in Florida when detached to NAS Key West in 1978. After storage at St Athan from 1989, sold in the US for trials work and moved to VAC in 2012

The third from last of the 199 Tigers built for the USN. Not sure about the authenticity of the colours, but this aircraft did fly with the Blue Angels in the early 1960s and also VT-23 before being SOC at MCAS Cherry Point in 1964. Ironically, the museum's other Tiger, an early F9F-9 (redesignated F-11F-1 in 1955), is painted in Blue Angels colours despite not having been used by them.
