This long pitot tube equipped Talon did not finished its career on a proper way... it crashed on 21 May 2009 while performing a United States Air Force Test Pilot School (USAFTPS) mission. The goal of the mission was collecting information during a so-called Flying Qualities Longitudinal Static Stability Data mission. This sortie required flying a series of test points at 0.9 Indicated Mach Number and 20,000 ft MSL. The Talon impacted the ground some 12 miles north of homebase Edwards, killing one of the two man crew,

YA-10B Night/Adverse Weather two-seat experimental prototype, the sole dual seat A-10. The aircraft was converted from an A-10A. The unique aircraft, once built as YA-10A, made its first flight from Edwards on 4 May 1979. After several tests, the US Congress did not approve funding for the project, so the whole was cancelled. The aircaft is now preserved at Edwards. It is seen here after its period of storage and was prepared for preservation.

Preserved since September 1995 as Thunderbird 6 at Merced/Castle (CA).

Within the Combined Test Force of the 6512th Test Squadron, this Eagle was involved in the testing of the Anti Satellite Missile (ASAT). The aircraft fired an ASM-135 missile on 21 Dec'82. These tests continued for several years. In 1988, the Reagan Administration cancelled the ASM-135 program because of technical problems, testing delays, and significant cost growth. The Eagle served Edwards up to 1995. It was then stored at AMARC with inventory code FH0116 on 18 May 1995. It was moved to HVF West at Tucson on 25 November 2008 and scrapped.

Delivered to the USAF in late 1978, and directly assigned as a test aircraft with the 6512 Test Squadron at Edwards AFB (CA). It was involved in the air-launched Anti-SATellite (ASAT) program. The Eagle was retired in May 1995 to AMARC on 18 May 1995 and left the storage depot on 18 May 1995. Its forward fuselage was then used at Robins AFB from November 2011 for instruction while the remainder was scrapped.

This T-38A was transferred to the US Navy as 701579 in May 1995 and was modex 17 assigned with the US Navy Test Pilot School at NAS Patuxent River (MD). The Talon is still flying as such.

This F-4C belonged to the oldest Phantoms at Edwards at the time of the picture. The beast was retired on 4 April 1991 to AMARC and received inventory code FP0646 . It left the storage depot in June 2000 and was probably scrapped.

Prepared for preservation at the base, we encountered this F-101 in primer at one of the platforms of the massive base.

This Rafale M was delivered in late 2010 to the Marine Nationale. The Navy variant of the Rafale participated in the 14 July 2023 parade over Paris, but was forced to leave the formation due to in-flight troubles. It made a precautionary landing at Evreux and is seen here returning to a parking spot.

Due to the "colours", or better the paint scheme, of this F-5F, the code on the tail (30122) is not visible. This adversary F-5F belongs to 7th TFW at Taitung. On the tail the badge with the "gun sight" with a MiG-21 inside can be seen.

To storage with 309th AMARG 2008, to Coulson 2019

Four Indian Air Force Rafales were deployed to BA105 Evreux to support the Indian contingent that participated in the French National day parade (also named Bastille day) over the Champs-Élysées, Paris on 14 July 2023. The Indians were invited because in 2023, France and India celebrated 25 years of strategic partnership. Three Rafales made part of the massive formation flight that consisted out of over 70 aircraft. Although unmarked, this Rafale belonged to 101sq "Falcons"based at Jalpaguiri/Hashimara AFS (India). The aircraft made its first flight late 2021 and was delivered on 22 Feb'22.

The Navy variant of the Rafale participated in the 14 July 2023 parade over Paris, but was forced to leave the formation due to in-flight troubles.
