This 355th Wing A-10A 'Hog' was photographed on the Davis-Monthan ramp early on a sunny morning in November 1989. Just two years later she went into store in AMARC.
This 71st SOS HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' was photographed on the ramp at Davis-Monthan AFB early on a Saturday morning. She was deployed to Saudi Arabia in 1991 and flew combat missions in operation Desert Storm, now on display at the Warner-Robins Museum
This 71st SOS CH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' was photographed spooling up on the ramp at Davis-Monthan AFB early on a Saturday morning in November 1989. A Vietnam veteran, this particular machine saw action in that theatre and flew the 2nd H-3 rescue mission.
This F-100F was being restored to flying condition so she could be delivered to Mojave for conversion to the QF-100F drone standard. Her colour scheme is quite rare for an F-100.
Looking as fresh as if she were on the flight line at her former home base, Bergstrom AFB in Texas, this former 67th TRW RF-4C awaits inward processing at AMARC.
This former USMC F-4S's lo-vis colour scheme is fading in the strong Arizona sun to the extent that her markings are almost unrecognizable. There is a large storage bag waiting on her spine.
Photographed during the last dedicated public "Photographer's Tour" at AMARC, this F-4N Bu.No 152208 wore the high-vis markings of the El Toro based VMFA-314 "Black Knights".
This is a B-52D and her badge indicates most likely a former 7th BW machine out of Carswell AFB TX. The last three of her serial looks like 598 so perhaps could be 56-0598, perhaps something quite similar. Either way she was in good condition.
One of four PV2-7 airframes converted to AP-2H standard, these Neptunes were used by the Navy for night and all-weather interdiction work over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Vietnam. On display at the Pima Air and Space Museum.
E-2B Hawkeye Bu.No 151720 was formerly operated by VAW-115. She entered AMARC in Dec 1985 and is listed by many sources as still in store today (January 2008).
E-2C Hawkeye Bu.No 160417 was formerly operated by VAW-115. She entered AMARC in Jan 1992 and is listed by many sources as still in store today (January 2008).
A telephoto shot taken while the bus was on the move during a tour of AMARC in Oct 1999. The 'Varks look to be F-111A models formerly operated by the 366th TFW out of Mountain Home AFB, ID.
Originally an RC-130A then converted to DC-130A drone carrier standard operated by the 11th TDS / 432nd TDG out of Davis-Monthan AFB. Snapped in a Tucson scrap yard in late 1999.
This T-28C Trojan was spied in a Tucson scrapyard (believed Specialized Aircraft Maintenance) in late 1999. She still wore markings for VT-2 / TW-5 as 'E-455' but was also on the civil register as N57FL.
The final resting place of F-4E, 68-0531/HO. Still painted in the colors of Captain Steve Ritchie's Phantom, when he shot down 5 MiG-21's over Vietnam in 1972.
