Here an Airplane, There an Airplane, Everywhere an Airplane
Lots of toys
One of my favorites, the SR-71 Blackbird, made the trip from ocean to ocean across the US in just over 68 minutes
OOPS... I over inflated the airplane again!----
An Aero Spacelines 377SG Super Guppy, first flown in 1965 to carry full sized booster rocket stages, this aircraft can carry 40,000 lbs at 265 MPH provided the cargo is not over 25 feet in diameter.
Front left, the Bumble bee, smallest aircraft in the world, that a person can fly in, 6'6" wingspan, 9'4" length, top speed 180 MPH, fuel capacity of 3 gallons. Right rear: a BD-5J microjet, the world's smallest jet, this one was featured in the James Bond movie "Octopussy" from 1983, Max speed 320 MPH, service ceiling 26,000 ft.
a mean looking Grumman OV-1C Mohawk reconnaissance aircraft, active army use from 1959 to present
A long line of out of service A-10 tankbuster aircraft
Likewise many out of service F4 phantom fighter, soon to be converted to drones (remotely controlled aircraft)
