Sadly by 1987 the McDonnell F-101B "One-Oh-Wonder" Voodoo was just memories plus a few airframes in museums and AMARC. This photo shows a row of Voodoo's in store representing the Maine and Minnesota Air National Guards.
Awaiting conversion into a QF-100F drone, 56-3795 looks to be in excellent condition and still clearly wears the markings of the 113th TFS, Indiana ANG based at Hulman Field, Terre Haute.
By 1987 high visibility markings like on this F-4N Bu.No 153914 were just a memory on the front line. However in AMARC in February 1987 these VF-21 markings could still be seen in all their glory. Later converted to QF-4N standard.
This former US Navy F-4N Phantom Bu.No 151433 has been almost picked clean of spare parts and when photographed in February 1987 was probably not far off being consigned to the smelter.
A long term inhabitant at AMARC was this Douglas EF-10B Skynight Bu.No 127047. She appears to be wearing USMC markings and the tail code "TN" which suggests she flew with VMCJ-3. Long years as a spare parts donor have left their mark on this old jet.
The US Army has always sought to achieve the maximum potential of Boeing-Vertol's CH-47 Chinook design. These very early CH-47A Chinooks were in store at AMARC in 1987 awaiting conversion to CH-47D or MH-47E standard.
In February 1987 this LTV A-7B Corsair II Bu.No 154439 was in perfect condition and still clearly wore the markings of VA-305, a Reserve unit based at Point Mugu NAS in California.
Photographed in store at AMARC in February 1987 C-131F Bu.No 140999 looks to be in remarkably good condition. When finally sold she became N14099, P4-SSG, then N8277Q. Not bad for a plane that entered service in 1955.
Photographed in February 1987 this C-118B Bu.No 131597 was in excellent condition. Her "JS" code indicates that her last operator was VR-46. When released from AMARC she became N1597F and in 1993 was destroyed in the Antarctic at Patriot Hills.
This was the second Guppy built and was called the "Super Gupy". Built from a Pan American 377 Stratocruiser with wings from an Air Force YC-97J with turbo-prop engines.
NB-52A Stratofortress "The High And Mighty One", this aircraft, one of 3, was used as a test vehicle and carried the X-15 aloft. Each X-15 symbol represents an X-15 flight that was launched from this aircraft.
