This is actually Tri-Motor N7861, delivered to the Union Electric Light and Power Company of Saint Louis as a corporate transport in 1928. In 1941 it passed to Johnson Flying Service, Missoula, MT for use as a sprayer then in the early 1960s as a smokejumper platform in forest fire control operations. Entered the museum in 1973 and restored to represent a USN RR-5 Tri-Motor

This is a composite of several different P-40s but principally built around the remains of a Soviet Air Force example that crashed near Murmansk after engine failure in 1942 and was retrieved in 1990. It was originally the RAF's AK255 and is said to have served the Russians as '7'. Now displayed as the aircraft of American Volunteer Group pilot Robert Neale, formerly with the USN and credited with 15.5 kills while flying with the 'Flying Tigers'

In 2019 Draken International donated this MiG-21 to the NMNA. It is ex Polish 9735 and has been painted in Iraqi colours as part of the story of the Navy's downing of two Iraqi Air Force F-7As (Chinese-built MiG-21s) by two F/A-18C Hornets from the USS Saratoga at the start of Operation Desert Storm on 17 January 1991. One of those Hornets, BuNo 163508, is displayed alongside. Interestingly the serial painted in Eastern Arabic on the MiG is taken from the last three of the true Polish identity

The prototype TT-1 Pinto trainer first flew in 1956 and was proposed as a competitor to the Cessna T-37. Although 14 were built for the USN by Temco Aircraft, by 1960 they were retired. In 1968, American Jet Industries flew an uprated version with a more powerful engine as the T-610 Super Pinto which was to be built in the Philippines, but this failed to materialise

This was the second Skyhawk to be built, flying as a YA4D-1 in 1954 just two months after the prototype. Transferred to Naval Aircraft Rework Facility (NARF) in 1960 and emerged as a standard A4D-1 (A-4A from 1962), joining VA-83 at NAS Oceana until transferred to Naval Air Facility China Lake for tests in late 1962. Stuck off in mid-1963, it went into store at Litchfield Park but was retrieved by NATC at Patuxent River in 1967 for further testing. Finally retired in 1969 and by 1979 was with the museum and restored to its VA-83 colours

Taken on Charge with the USN with BuNo 46602 in October 1944 and deployed to Brazil, flying anti-submarine patrols over the Atlantic. Placed in store at NAS Litchfield Park, AZ in 1949 and supplied to the Mexican Navy in 1957. Acquired by The Flying Firemen as CF-FZZ in 1966. In 1986 sold as N607CC and delivered to the museum in 1987. Extensively damage by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 but repaired and now awaits shipment on loan to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum

This Privateer is a composite of several sections from different aircraft put together by Hawkins & Powers at their Greybull, WY base before ferrying to Pensacola in 1983, adopting the identity of 66304/N2870G. However several authoritative sources point to the majority coming from 33261/N7682C, incorporating major parts from 66304, 59882 and 66313. What is clear, however, is that it has suffered extensive hurricane damage

Taken on strength by the USMC in 1961 as an HUS-1 just before resignation as UH-34D next year and deployed aboard USS Guadalcanal in 1964 with HMM-261. Saw service in Vietnam in 1965/66 and entered the museum in 1973. In 1990 it was painted orange as HUS-1L BuNo 144657 'XO-657', one of four modified for operations by VX-6 in Antarctica and setting a record with a 450-mile flight in 1957. By 1998 repainted in standard USMC colours to represent the Ugly Angels of HMM-362, which in 1962 was the first Marine helicopter squadron to deploy to Vietnam

Constructed as a B.18S, this aircraft was the last civil delivery of a Beech 18 before production was switched to military orders for the duration of WWII. It flew as NC1040 for a newspaper company until impressed for use by the USN from 1942 as JRB-2 BuNo 09771 and saw service with the Marines. After the war it was based at NAS Corpus Christi, NAS Alameda, NAS Anacostia and MCAS Cherry Point before remanufacture as an SNB-5P in 1953, then serving at NAS Willow Grove, NAS Glenview, NAS Atlanta and NAS Pensacola. Moved to the museum in 1962 (displayed indoors around 2012)
