Under restoration at Planes of Fame Air Museum. This Airacobra was taken on charge by the USAAF with s/n 42-4949. It served in Alaska during World War II. The long length of the rear-retracting, non-steering nosewheel can be seen. The gaps in the wing root are for the oil cooler and radiator intakes. The automobile type door frame is visible. This model was fitted with the V-1710-85 engine and a slightly larger Aeroproducts propeller, but it made little difference to the low top speed, rate of climb and poor performance at higher altitudes.

Holding short of Rwy 27 at CSMIA on a wet and grey morning. This aircraft was newly delivered as VT-JWK to Jet Airways on 17 Dec 2007. It served with Etihad Airways from 2013-15 before rejoining Jet Airways on 1 Jun 2015 and stayed in the fleet till the airline ceased operations in Apr 2019.

On display at Udvar-Hazy. Shortly after delivery on 6 Nov 1943, this P-38J was converted to a two-seat trainer, spending its time at Wright Field as an experimental aircraft. It was flown there on 16 Apr 1945 by Maj. Richard I. Bong, America's highest scoring fighter ace. He had planned to fly for an hour but the right engine blew up, cutting the test short. On 20 Jun 1945 it was earmarked for storage as a museum aircraft. The J had redesigned oil cooler intakes and larger radiator scoops. Turbo-supercharger cooling intakes on top have replaced the carburetor air scoop on earlier models.

Rolling down Rwy 09 at Yelahanka in the evening during Aero India 2015. This aircraft was delivered to the IAF on 06 Jan 1986.

On the apron at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. NASA flew variants of the Learjet for airborne astronomy including the Model 23, which was equipped with a 12-inch infrared telescope to study Venus. A little over hundred Model 23s were built between 1964-66, with this aircraft being built in 1965. The Lear 23 was powered by a pair of 12.7 kN GE CJ610-4 turbojets that could get the business jet to Mach 0.82 because of the high power-to-weight ratio. Thanks to the designs of the prodigious Bill Lear, Model 23 was soon surpassed in performance and comfort by the Learjet Model 24 and 25.

Displaying in the afternoon at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. Built in 1971, this STOL aircraft is operated by JAARS which flies to remote areas.

On display at JASDF Hamamatsu Kohokan. This aircraft is painted in the markings of 33rd Hikotai.

"Angel of Okinawa" inside the hangar at Fantasy of Flight. Built in 1945, the aircraft was delivered to the US Navy as BuNo 97286. It was acquired by Kermit Weeks in 1990. Damaged in 1992 by Hurricane Andrew, it was repaired for static display. The F4U-4 was accepted by the USN in Oct 1944. It was powered by a 2,100 hp P&W R-2800-18W driving a thirteen-foot Hamilton Standard four blade propeller and featured a chin air scoop. Corsairs earned their well-deserved sobriquet in the assault on Okinawa and defending USN's Fifth Fleet against tokko attacks by IJN's Fifth Air Fleet from Kyushu.

Evening arrival of "Nagaland" at CSMIA. The aircraft was newly delivered to Air India on 24 May 2010.

On static display at Spirit of St. Louis Airshow 2024. This aircraft with retractable landing gear is powered by twin 100 hp Rotax 912S3 piston engines and has an empty weight of 819 kg.

On static display at Aero India 2025 by evening light. Atop the dolly by the starboard wing of the fully loaded MiG-29K lies a DRDO RudraM-II that is under development as an ARM and ground attack missile. The folded wing carries a DRDO Astra BVRAAM.

On the apron at Palam on a winter morning. This Avro was among the first few built by HAL, flying for the first time on 04 Mar 1968. She served with Indian Airlines before going to Border Security Force, subsequently used for parts at Delhi.

On display on the flight deck of CV-10 USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum. Normally two fixed wing ASW squadrons were embarked on a CVS, with requirements subsequently changing for the CVA and CV. This S-2E belongs to VS-23 "Black Cats" which did three Vietnam deployments aboard USS Yorktown. Along with VS-25 "Golden Eagles" also flying the Tracker, the two fixed wing ASW units with tail code 'NU' flew under CVSG-55 that was operational till 27 Sep 1968. The 70 million candlepower searchlight is visible on the starboard wing. This variant had 16 JEZEBEL sonobuoys / nacelle.

Flying past in the morning at Yelahanka during Aero India 2025.

On approach for IGIA in the morning. The aircraft was delivered to the IAF on 29 Aug 1985.

On display at AAM Duxford. The success of the Avenger as a sub-killer during World War II led to the TBM-3E being modified to the dedicated ASW TBM-3S. The turret was removed and faired over, new electronics were added and the AN/APS-4 radar pod was retained under the starboard wing. This former RCN TBM-3S Avenger represents the TBM-1C of future President George H. W. Bush who flew with VT-51 from CVL-30 USS San Jacinto. Lt Bush was shot down over Chichi Jima on 2 Sep 1944 after completing the bombing run in the flak damaged Avenger, losing his crew. He was awarded the DFC for the attack.

Inside Planes of Fame Air Museum's B-17G under restoration. This aircraft was delivered as 44-83684 on 7 May 1945, too late to see action in WW2. It went into storage in Texas and was converted to a DB-17G drone director aircraft to control radio-operated QB-17 target aircraft. In this role it participated in the 1951 Op Greenhouse nuclear tests and flew the last operational mission for the USAF on 6 Aug 1959. The staggered waist gun positions can be seen with the starboard gun moved forward by three fuselage frames. The seated Plexiglas windows afforded more comfort at combat altitude.
