MiG-15 on a TPS sortie.  Looks like the pilot is a civilian (owner?) and the backseater is a TPS student.

A-10 Junior - Fairchild T-46A, back in the eighties I worked on the technical manuals for the Garrett F109 that powered these. Although the program was cancelled the core of the engine was used in some successful engines that followed. Always thought it was a cute little design.

I remember reading about these as a kid and being disappointed the Air Force didn't move forward with them.  Not sure how powerful they were, but I would have loved seeing an armed light attack variant like the A-37.

The Humble T-34C - One of the nicest ones I've ever seen.

Not the most flattering angle for the F-35 but it sure has a nice nozzle!
