This 71-0323 crashed on 19 Nov'91. The A-7D was written off under unknown circumstances, the pilot was killed on the scene. The Michigan ANG was using the A-7D with the 107th Tactical Fighter squadron. In its final months within the unit, these pictures were made. The 107th operated many aircraft types since its establishment in 1927. The A-7 replaced the F-100D Super Sabre in 1979. They operated the Corsair up to 1989 after which they replaced it with the F-16. That one was assigned to the squadron up to 2008 and replaced by the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Check the two 171st FIS F-4Ds in take-off.

A pleasant surprise when this beauty turned up at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. Painted in a gold colour scheme to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Iowa Air National Guard.

The 914th Airlift Wing of Air Force Reserve Command, is sharing their aircraft with the wing's 328th Airlift Squadron and the New York Air National Guard 107th Airlift Wing. The 328th transferred to KC-135 in 2017. The fin strip on this Herc refers to its homebase Niagara Falls Intl Airport.

The blue tail revealed the aircraft belongs to the 475th Airlift Wing. The Learjet was accepted by the USAF in April 1985 and served the 12th Air Force VIP flight at Langley with tailcode FF from December 1996 up to October 2004. In the last seven years of that assigment, the FF code was removed. It was transferred to the 375th in late 2004 and was retired on 24 January 2007 when it arrived at AMARG . At the storage location the Gates bird received inventory code CJ0017.

This aircraft is seen performing a slow pass at an International Air Tattoo. It is from the now-closed Upper Heyford Airbase in Oxfordshire.

On behalf of the US Government, the USAF operates a handful of Hurons for diplomatic duties. Those aircraft are assigned to various US Embassies around the world and are used to transport officials around in the corresponding regions. This Huron was assigned to the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya when this picture was taken and got grounded in Madagascar during an offical visit due to one of it's engines producing metal chips.
