"American" on display at the Royal Thai Air Force Museum. Under Farm Gate, the USAF used the A-1 in the 1st and 602nd ACS (later SOS) from 1964. Flying CAS, interdiction missions and escorting SAR helicopters as a flight, A-1s with callsign "Sandy" were unmatched in their role during the Vietnam War, being able to loiter long and suppress enemy fire. This ex-USN aircraft taken on charge by the USAF in Feb 1968 as 52-142072 was hit by AAA over Laos on 27 Dec 1968 that caused a wheels-up landing at Udorn. The 602nd SOS aircraft was donated to the museum in 1979.

Operated by 25 Squadron, no badge.

Still in its Operation Telic ARTF pale grey colors.

First flown in 1976 and delivered to II(AC) Sqdn at RAF Laarbruch, XZ106 flew 35 operations in the 1991 Gulf War, painted in 'Desert Pink'. After that it was transferred to 41 Sqdn and underwent modification to GR,3A standard, seeing service in the Balkans conflict in 1995. It was retired in May 2005 and joined the Manston museum in November 2008, where it was painted into arctic camo colours. I last shot this aircraft from a VC10 over the North Sea in 2004 - photo #2583

Tail code: FR (Fort Rucker)

Delivered to the RAF on 28 August 1990, this F3 served the F3 OCU, 1435 Flt from the Falklands, the Coningsby ASF, 5 Sqn, 25 Sqn (as pictured), 111 Sqn, and 43 Sqn. The Tornado crashed into a mountain near Glen Kinglas, Arrochar (Scotland), during a low level missing in poor visibility on 2 July 2009. The incident tragically killed both crew members.

Three Royal Air Force Jaguar's visited Prestwick this day and all departed in early afternoon from runway 31. As the Jaguar was taxiing out for departure a brand new KLM 777 that was crew training had lined up on the runway ready for takeoff.

The swan song of the Jaguar in RAF service. Taken from VC-10 XV107 over the North Sea, this 41 Sqdn machine was first flown on 12.5.76 and went to DARA St Athan on 29.9.05 for spares recovery. Behind is XZ364; with the closure of RAF Coltishall the final Jaguar unit, 6 Sqdn, disbanded in 2007
