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from AF-9J to TAF-9J in 1966 with VT-23 at NAAS Kingsville, TX, in whose marks it remains on display having been withdrawn from service in 1970

By 1957 when production ended, some 3,180 Skyraiders were built in eight major models and 37 variants. The larger fuselage of the AD-5 allowed modification into a four-seat electronic countermeasures aircraft designated AD-5Q, redesignated EA-IF in 1962. This one is displayed in the VAW-33 marks it carried on USS America in 1967

By 1957 when production ended, some 3,180 Skyraiders were built in eight major models and 37 variants. The larger fuselage of the AD-5 allowed modification into a four-seat electronic countermeasures aircraft designated AD-5Q, redesignated EA-IF in 1962. This one is displayed in the VAW-33 marks it carried on USS America in 1967

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.

This is the prototype of the FJ-2 Fury, basically a navalised Sabre, as it appeared in 1956 during flight testing at NAS Columbus, OH. It later flew with NATC Patuxent River marked '151' and NARTU Glenview, IL as '7V-12'. Stored at NAS Glynco, GA from 1965

Nicknamed "The Whale" by its crews, the A-3 Skywarrior is the largest and heaviest aircraft ever designed for regular operation from an aircraft carrier. Although long since having lost their strategic bombing role, the Navy used electronic warfare and aerial tanker versions of the Skywarrior into the 1970s and a few remained in test programs as late as the 1990s. six A3D-1 bombers were converted to YA3D-1Q (YEA-3A) ECM aircraft with a pressurised crew compartment replacing the bomb bay. This one served the NATC at Patuxent River, MD
