T-39B, serial 60-3477, as she appeared during April 1995, about three months after her arrival for storage. She would remain here for about 15 years before the scrapper took its toll. Scan from my 35mm slide.

F-100C, serial 54-1959, flew for the Skyblazers, USAF Europe's regional aerobatic team that was assembled in the late 1940s to show off America's jet-powered aircraft to the European audience. The aircraft was assigned for four years and was with them when the team disbanded in January 1962. She is seen here during February 1972 before FMS sale to Turkey about 18 months later.

C-46D, serial 44-77635, in storage at MASDC during October 1968 before eventual donation to the Pima Air and Space Museum. Note the B-47 tails in the distance.

QU-22B, as seen in storage during May 1973. She would be declared excess two months later and go to a new civilian operator in 1974 with registration N49893, which is no longer active.

A-6E, BuNo 151811, seen in February 1995 soon after its arrival for a second period of preservation and storage. She would survive into 2018, at which point the scrapping process took its toll.

HU-16B, serial 51-7186, in storage during October 1968. This aircraft would return to service in 1970.

Business end of B-52E, serial 57-0015, as seen during March 1976. She had been in storage for approximately seven years when this photo was taken and would eventually be scrapped along with the majority of the sharp-top Stratofortresses.

March 1976 shot of F-8J, BuNo 150661, immediately following her arrival for what would turn out to be a short stay of only nine months before being sent to the Pacific Missile Test Center at Naval Air Station Point Mugo, CA, flying for Light Photographic Squadron 63 (VFP-63) with tail code PP.

March 1976 shot of the storage yard showing a double row of Army TH-55s on the left and a partially populated double row of Army U-6s on the right. Of course, various other airframes are visible in the distance. U-6 serials visible are, from nearest to farthest: 53-2810 (facing left), 53-7951 (facing left, ORE NG on tail), 55-0686 (facing right, WASH NG on tail), 58-2013 (facing left), and 53-2824 (facing right).

RF-84F, serial 53-7622, as she appeared during February, 1972, the year following her designation as excess. She would eventually be sent to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM.
