Of the 150 Seastars built for the USN, only two are known to survive. Based on the T-33, they featured a raised instructor's seat improving visibility, more powerful engine and strengthening to allow carrier use. This one flew support roles for NAS Quonset Point, RI and was retired to the Boneyard in 1970

The USAF introduced the T-28 in 1950, the Navy following three years later. The Navy version of the aircraft, the T-28B, differed from the Air Force version primarily in having a bigger engine and a three-blade propeller instead of two-blade. The T-28C added a tail hook for carrier landing training and remained in service till 1984. This one served VT-3 then VT-6, NAS Whiting Field, FL from 1971 till being stored at DM from the end of 1974

Although the Cougar retained the F9F designation that had been used by the Panther, it was a substantially new design, of which approaching 2,000 of several versions were built. This one started out as an F9F-8 delivered to the USN in September 1955 and after serving two fighter squadrons, was modified in 1957 to F9F-8B to carry nuclear weapons. After serving various attack squadrons, it was redesigned from AF-9J to TAF-9J in 1966 with VT-23 at NAAS Kingsville, TX, in whose marks it remains on display having been withdrawn from service in 1970

A total of 420 Skyrays were built, taking advantage of delta-wing design research captured from Germany at the end of WWII and serving from 1956 till 1964. It was the first Navy aircraft to exceed Mach 1 in level flight. The livery is that of the Douglas Aircraft Testing Division as it was in 1961. Previously displayed aboard the USS Intrepid museum in New York.

This Demon is actually Bu Aer 145221 and is displayed in the markings of VF-13 with the serial and coding for 143492 aboard USS Shangri-La in 1963. It appears that 145221 served VF-31 and VF-14 before also joining VF-13. Why Pima chose to alter the identity is unclear.
