Looking very smart while serving the 101st FIS Massachusetts ANG (note 'Cape Cod' marks on engine nacelle), this machine was retired to Davis Monthan in 1975 and spent the next couple of decades stored there till bought by Classic Wings Corp, becoming N131CW in 1997. Went on to American Airpower Heritage, flying with the CAF Museum at Camarillo, CA in 11.01. Sold again in 4.09 and seen at Chino in regular USAF marks in 6.16

Many years ago while "Enola Gay" was still dismantled and in store at the Silver Hill facility, I once had the eerie experience of being able to go on board and sit in the bombadier's seat. Of course this is the Superfortress which dropped the world's first atomic bomb used in warfare on Hiroshima on 6.8.45

Although flown by the 58th TTW in full USAF markings, the Starfighters at Luke were German-owned and used to train pilots without the weather and airspace constraints of Europe. They even had WGAF serials allocated, this one being 27+64. This one is unusual in that it was painted grey - most were natural metal like the one next up the serial range parked behind

The first production Hercules to be built, following two YC-130 prototypes, made its maiden flight on 7.4.55 as a C-130A with the original blunt nose. The left wing burned off after a fuel leak on her third flight, but repaired. Converted to AC-130A gunship in 11.67, serving with a number of units in Vietnam (hit by a 37mm shell in 1971). Seen here in service with the 711th SOS; after withdrawal from duty in 1995, placed on permanent display at the USAF Armament Museum, Eglin AFB
