Unusual in being camouflaged, this T-29 preserved by the Bradley Air Museum was completely destroyed by the tornado on 3 Oct 1979; unfortunately the Capitol L.749 Connie in the foreground was another casualty

Hayes Aircraft Corp. converted 136 surplus B-50Ds to KB-50 tankers, deliveries of the improved jet-assisted KB-50J version beginning in 1958. Replaced by KC-135s in the mid-60s, a few were still available in 1965 for use in SE Asia for emergency refuelling of fighters over hostile territory. Framed by WB-50D 0-90310, this one was soon after painted with fake serial 0-80114 and was moved to the Air Park at McDill AFB, FL in 1996

Looks good but a false identity - never served with the USAF, being in fact originally RCAF C-119F 22118, assigned in 1953 to 436 Sqdn at Dorval. In 1956 during the Suez crisis used on UN shuttles between Italy and Egypt. Had enlarged radar nose fitted in 1957 and based to Downsview. Struck off RCAF charge 1965 but from 1969 operated as firebomber by Hawkins & Powers as N3559. Upgraded to Steward-Davis Jet-Pak spec in 1972 with J34 engine above fuselage and flown to Dover for preservation 10.91

In my distant recollection, the sound of this awesome turboprop lifter was as distinctive and inspiring as that of the mighty Antonov 22. This Cargomaster, one of 50 built primarily to carry intercontinental ballistic missiles, arrived at the USAFM in March 1971 when the fleet had to be retired due to fatigue and was repainted in the white-top MATS scheme in 1986

Seen here while serving with AFSC's 4950 Test Wing, this 1956-build Hercules was fitted with four-blade props by 1984 and was only relatively recently retired at Eglin, then being broken up on the ranges there. Note the various sensors and radomes on the forward fuselage, all of which which were later removed

The YC-15 was the McDonnell Douglas entry against the Boeing YC-14 in the Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition. This, the first of two, made her maiden flight on 28.8.75 and was later used as a CFM-56 engine test-bed. Registered as N15YC 4.97; moved from Palmdale to Edwards AFB in 4.08 and now displayed near the west gate (Rosamond) in the Century Circle. Although neither design was adopted, McDonnell Douglas later of course went on to develop the successful C-17 Globemaster III

The F-86D / L all-weather interceptor was 75 per cent different from the F-86 day fighter, and was originally designated F-95. The Sabre Dog was still a single-seater, however, and the pilot's workload was high. Armament was a battery of unguided rockets.
