When this slide was taken Chanute AFB was still active. This aircraft was used as a ground instructional trainer, and when the AFB closed in 1993 it was transferred to the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum. The museum painted it as a T-38 flown by the USAF Thunderbirds. When the museum closed in 2015 it was transferred to the Frost Museum of Science in Miami, Florida.

Chanute AFB was still active when I took this slide. This F-100C was redesignated a GF-100C in February 1963 and was used as a ground instructional airframe at Chanute AFB until September 1974. It then was painted in Thunderbird markings and put on display at the base. When the base closed it was transferred to the Chanute Air Museum. In 2009 it was transferred to the Prairie Air Museum in Bloomington, IL. where it is on display.

Slide taken while Chanute AFB was still active. This was one of several a/c on display around the base. After the base closed it became part of the Octave Chanute Museum. Unfortunately when the museum closed in 2015 51-7200 did not find a new home and was scrapped.

This slide was taken when Chanute AFB was still active. The a/c was being used as a ground instructional airframe. After the base closed this C-123 was on display there as part of the Octave Chanute Air Museum at least until 2002. Later the aircraft was donated to the SpringHill Summer Camp in Michigan where it currently resides as a sleep out for campers.

The museum made some changes to the original markings. The museum closed in 2015 and the JRB-66 was one of several airframes that did not find a new home and was scrapped.

Slide taken when Chanute AFB was still active. This is actually GRB-58A 55-666 painted as B-58A 61-2059. This a/c was originally built as a YB-58A. Transferred to Chanute in May 1964 as a ground instructional airframe. Redesignated GRB-58A in May 1965. Put on display at the base in 1967. After the Chanute Air Museum closed in 2015, this a/c was moved in August 2017 to the Castle Air Museum in California.

It was put on permanent display there. It was transferred (with great difficulty!) to Castle Air Museum in California in 1990 where it still resides.
