The Nimrod R1 was a reconnaissance aircraft of the British air force, which has been developed on the basis of the MR1. The R1 was an important instrument of strategic reconnaissance of Great Britain. Commissioned of the spying variant R1 took place officially in 1974 when the 51st Squadron (at that time stationed in RAF Wyton in Cambridgeshire) accepted the existing three aircraft (XW664-XW666) delivery. The 1995 destroyed machine XW666 was replaced by a modified MR2 (XV249). Visually, the R1 differed from the standard version of the sea Scout through a brief probe on the back. It replaced the much longer magnetic detection probe of Mr. options. The weapons Bay was sealed and contained other ELINT equipment. Since its launch, the three aircraft had experienced a plethora of modifications and had an appearance at the time of her decommissioning, which differs greatly from the sister engines. More devices inside might have been responsible for the small number of Windows in the fuselage. In addition, the aircraft had multiple antennas at the bottom. Since early 2005, the Nimrod R1 through the new Sentinel R1 was supported. Both aircraft types were since jointly stationed in the air force base RAF Waddington. In the fall of 2009 the XW665 out of service was provided and the two remaining Nimrod R1 flew until mid-2011, the last usage flight took place on June 28, 2011. As a replacement three RC-135 were also ordered.

The Lockheed D-21 was an American Mach 3+ reconnaissance drone. The D-21 was initially designed to be launched off the back of its M-21 carrier aircraft, a variant of the Lockheed A-12 aircraft. Development began in October 1962. Originally known by the Lockheed designation Q-12, the drone was intended for reconnaissance missions deep into enemy airspace.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lockheed-a-12-blackbird-d21-drone/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lockheed-a-12-blackbird-d21-drone/ Mon, 04 Jul 2011 15:52:44 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lockheed-a-12-blackbird-d21-drone/ 39.11372500 -121.39017100 <![CDATA[Lockheed S-3B Viking]]>

The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a four seat jet aircraft that was used by the United States Navy to identify, track, and destroy enemy submarines. In the late 1990s, the S-3B's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial refueling. The Viking also provided electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to the carrier battle group. A carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, multi-mission aircraft with long range, it carried automated weapon systems, and was capable of extended missions with in-flight refueling. Because of the engines’ low-pitched sound, it was nicknamed the "Hoover" after the vacuum cleaner brand.]]>

This North American T-28B has been beautifully returned to its original Training Command yellow with green markings denoting it as an instrument trainer. Some of these were fitted with gun pods for aerial gunnery training. The T-28C model is the same except it has a tail hook for carrier training.

As used as the Basic Training Command aircraft, the flight syllabus consisted of: Transition, Precision, Aerobatics (TPA), Basic and Radio Instruments, Formation, Cross Country, Night, Gunnery and Carrier Qualification, totaling about 125 hours. Navy, Marine and Coast Guard student aviators flew these aircraft for more than twenty years. Bu.No. 529263

Uses other than student training were: Towing targets for fleet gunnery, instrument proficiency training for single pilot aircraft squadrons and finally for desk bound aviators when four hours per month were required for flight pay.

Over 2200 were built in all models and flew in the respective liveries of twenty-one Nations. More than three hundred are still civilian registered, with half of that amount still flying.]]>

Tail Number 8610 is the aircraft responsible for the call sign Air Force One. It seems that the Columbine was confused by an air traffic controller with a flight number 8610 and the later was given precedence over the Columbine.

The Lockheed P-2 Neptune (P2V until September 1962) was a Maritime patrol and ASW aircraft. It was developed for the United States Navy by Lockheed to replace the PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon, and being replaced in turn with the P-3 Orion. Designed as a land-based aircraft, the Neptune never made a carrier landing, although a small number of aircraft were converted for carrier use and successfully launched. The type was successful in export, seeing service with several armed forces.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lockheed-p-2-neptune-1/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lockheed-p-2-neptune-1/ Mon, 11 May 2009 08:21:12 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lockheed-p-2-neptune-1/ 39.79858100 -121.85406700 <![CDATA[AVRO AEW.2 Shackleton]]>

The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, aircraft carrier-based tactical Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft. The twin turboprop aircraft was designed and developed in the 1950s by Grumman for the United States Navy as a replacement for the E-1 Tracer. The aircraft has been progressively updated with the latest variant, the E-2D, first flying in 2007.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/grumman-e-2-hawkeye-on-static-display/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/grumman-e-2-hawkeye-on-static-display/ Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:42:35 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/grumman-e-2-hawkeye-on-static-display/ 34.11904500 -119.10309400 <![CDATA[North American T-39N Sabreliner]]>

The North American Sabreliner (later sold as the Rockwell Sabreliner) is a mid-sized business jet developed by North American Aviation and was offered to the U.S. Air Force in response to their Utility Trainer Experimental (UTX) program. Due to similarity of the wing and tail to North American's F-86 Sabre, it was dubbed "Sabreliner." Military variants, dubbed T-39 Sabreliner, were used by both the U.S Air Force and U.S. Navy after the Air Force placed an initial order in 1959. The Sabreliner was also developed into a commercial variant.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-t-39n-sabreliner/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-t-39n-sabreliner/ Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:09:45 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-t-39n-sabreliner/ 30.34331700 -87.31439600 <![CDATA[Lockheed P-3 Orion]]>

The North American T-28 Trojan was a piston-engined military trainer aircraft used by the United States armed forces in the 1950s and into the early 1980s. The largest single concentration of this aircraft was employed by the U.S. Navy at NAS Whiting Field in Milton, Florida in the training of student naval aviators. The last U.S. Navy training squadron to fly the T-28 was VT-27, based at NAS Corpus Cristi, Texas, flying the last T-28 training flight in early 1984. Many T-28s were subsequently sold to private civil operators, and due to their reasonable operating costs are often found flying as warbirds today.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/us-navy-north-american-t-28-trojan/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/us-navy-north-american-t-28-trojan/ Tue, 09 Sep 2008 21:25:37 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/us-navy-north-american-t-28-trojan/ 27.69568900 -97.25781000 <![CDATA[Lockheed P2V-5 Neptune]]>

Designed in 1942 by Vega Aircraft Corp. a subsidiary of Lockheed, as a land based photoreconnaissance and anti-submarine duty a/c. Lockheed dissolved Vega in 1943 and an XP2-1 made its first flight in May 1945.A P2V named the "Truculent Turtle" flew from Perth Australia Sept. 29, 1946 to Columbus Ohio,11255.6 miles, in 55 hours and 17 minutes breaking the world distance record without refueling.

Although designed for land operation this a/c was flown from carriers. Successive models progressed from the from the P2V-1 to the P2V-7. In 1962 the P2-Vs were redesignated as P-2s. The P2V-s became the P-2 E and the P2V-7 became the P-2H.

The museum's a/c was at one time equipped with jet engines attached outboard of the regular engines. They were removed prior to being Donated by the Navy Air Reserve Detachment of Buckley Field CO.]]>

The KJ-1 AEWC was a first generation Chinese AEW (Airborne Early Warning) radar fitted to a Tupolev Tu-4 bomber. The project was started in 1969 under the code name "Project 926". The prototype aircraft is currently on display at the Chinese Aviation Museum in Beijing. According to the Chinese governmental claim, a single Tu-4 AEW unit was equivalent to more than 40 ground radar stations, but the production was stopped due to the Cultural Revolution. In the era of the Chinese economic reform, the project was once again put on hold because economic development was the top priority. When the project was finally reviewed again for the modernization of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, it was already too late and outdated, instead, China decided to order Israeli IAI Phalcon radar for its A-50I AWACS.]]>

The Lockheed P-2 Neptune (until 1963 the P2V Neptune) was a naval patrol bomber and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft for the United States Navy between 1947 and 1978, replacing the PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon and being replaced in turn with the P-3 Orion. Designed as a land-based aircraft, the Neptune never made a carrier landing, although a small number of aircraft were converted for carrier use and successfully launched. The type was successful in export, seeing service with several armed forces. The Neptune shares the P-2 designation (albeit under a different designation system) with the Curtiss P-2 Hawk, a much earlier biplane.

Model 60-6938.

The Lockheed A-12 was a reconnaissance aircraft built for the Central Intelligence Agency by Lockheed's famed Skunk Works, based on the designs of Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. The A-12 was produced from 1962 through 1964, and was in operation from 1963 until 1968. The single-seat design, which first flew in April 1962, was the precursor to both the U.S. Air Force YF-12 interceptor and the famous SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. The final A-12 mission was flown in May 1968, and the program and aircraft retired in June of that year.]]>

The Convair C-131 Samaritan was an American military transport produced from 1954 to 1956.

A trainer model, designated the T-29, was also based on the Convair 240 to instruct navigators and radio operators. The T-29 was eventually replaced by the T-43. A planned bomber training version of the T-29 (designated T-32) was never built. The 340 model was used for most C-131Ds.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/convair-t-29c/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/convair-t-29c/ Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:17:37 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/convair-t-29c/ 29.52825500 -98.27269900 <![CDATA[Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird]]>

The Lockheed SR-71 is an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Lockheed YF-12A and A-12 aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works. The SR-71 was unofficially named the Blackbird, and called the Habu ("snake") by its crews. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's advanced concepts, with the SR-71 being one of the first aircraft shaped to reduce its radar cross section, although its radar signature could be tracked by contemporary systems unlike later "stealth" aircraft. A defensive feature of the aircraft is its high speed and operating altitude; whereby if a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, standard evasive action was simply to accelerate. The SR-71 line was in service from 1964 to 1998, with 12 of the 32 aircraft being destroyed in accidents, though none were lost to enemy action.]]>

Grumman began work on modifying the S2F Tracker into an airborne radar platform in 1955 as a company funded project. At the same time the Navy was working on a request for proposals for just such an aircraft and Grumman offered their new design as a temporary solution while the Navy finalized their requirements. After the Navy agreed work on the design continued into 1956 with several changes being made to the design. Most importantly the TF-1 Trader was adopted as the basic fuselage from which the Tracer would be modified because the Trader which was itself derived from the S2F had a wider fuselage giving more room for electronic equipment. The first WF-2 flew on March 1, 1958 and operational aircraft began arriving at active squadrons in early 1960. Initially planned as an interim design the Tracer was the Navy’s primary carrier based airborne radar aircraft until the mid-1970s. The last of the 88 Tracers built left Navy service in November 1977.]]>

Fairey AEW Mk. 3 Gannet

Designed in response to a 1945 Royal Navy request for a dedicated anti-submarine aircraft the first Gannet flew in 1949, but did not enter service until 1955. The Gannet is widely regarded as one of the least attractive aircraft ever built, however its large fuselage made it ideal for adaptation to other uses. The AEW 3 variant was designed as an airborne early warning aircraft for fleet defense. The addition of the large bulged radar dome under the fuselage did little for the Gannet’s looks, but it did give the Royal Navy radar coverage of their fleet out to 200 miles from the aircraft. The other main versions of the Gannet were a trainer and a transport for moving people and cargo to a carrier at sea. The Gannet served with the Royal Navy until 1978 when the British decommissioned their last true aircraft carrier.

Douglas EA-1F Skyraider

The design of the Douglas Skyraider dates to 1943 when the U.S. Navy requested a single seat aircraft capable of acting as both a dive-bomber and a torpedo bomber. The prototype first flew in March 1945. The design was very well received during testing and the first aircraft entered service in 1946 as the AD-1. The Skyraider proved to be a very adaptable design and production of eight major models and thirty-seven variants continued until 1957 with 3,180 built. The basic AD-5 model appeared in 1950 as a two seat anti-submarine aircraft with a wider and slightly longer fuselage. The larger fuselage allowed more extensive modification into a four seat electronic countermeasures aircraft designated AD-5Q. In 1962, these aircraft were re-designated as EA-1F. A small number of them remained in service as late as 1979.]]>

North American RA-5C Vigilante

The Vigilante is one of the largest aircraft to routinely fly from the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carriers. It was designed in the late 1950s as a supersonic nuclear capable attack bomber. The Vigilante first flew in August 1958 and deliveries of operational aircraft began in 1960. The A3J, as it was then designated, featured a unique bomb bay arrangement in which the bomb was ejected out a chute that exited between the aircraft’s engines. This system proved to be very troublesome and in fact many problems were never solved. A change in policy eliminated the Navy’s strategic nuclear bombing role and the Vigilante’s mission was changed to reconnaissance. At the same time the Navy’s aircraft designation system was changed and the A3J became the A-5A and the reconnaissance version became the RA-5C. Existing Vigilantes were upgraded and modified to serve as photoreconnaissance aircraft and further examples were built in the new configuration. The Vigilante served with the U.S. Navy until 1979.]]>

The F-101 Voodoo was conceived as a long-range escort fighter for the bombers of the Strategic Air Command. As it turned out this was one of the few roles the versatile Voodoo did not perform. The F-101A first flew in 1953 and quickly began setting records for speed, distance, and altitude. The RF-101C version of the Voodoo is specially strengthened and modified to perform tactical reconnaissance missions at both high and very low altitudes.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mcdonnell-rf-101c-voodoo/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mcdonnell-rf-101c-voodoo/ Thu, 22 Nov 2007 13:01:59 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mcdonnell-rf-101c-voodoo/ 32.14018000 -110.86729100 <![CDATA[Grumman RF-9J Cougar]]>

Even before the Panther entered service the Navy and Grumman were examining the possibility of creating a swept-wing version of the aircraft. The appearance of the Soviet MiG-15 over Korea spurred on the process and the prototype made its first flight in September 1951. While the Cougar retained the F9F designation of the earlier Panther it was in reality an almost entirely new design bearing only a superficial resemblance to the Panther. Initially seen as an interim design the Cougar turned out to be very adaptable and several versions and modifications were made over its lifetime. One of the more important of these is the photoreconnaissance version, the F9F-8P. This version incorporated a much larger nose housing several cameras and a fixed position refueling probe. Eventually nearly 2,000 Cougars of all types were built and some remained is service as late as 1974.]]>

The RF-84F is the first jet specifically designed for tactical reconnaissance to go into service with the U.S. Air Force. The aircraft was significantly redesigned from the other members of the F-84 family. Most obviously the engine intakes were relocated to the wing roots to allow the lengthened nose section to be used to house various cameras and electronic equipment. The Thunderflash first flew in 1952. Over 700 of them were built and they remained in service until the early 1970s.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/republic-rf-84f-thunderflash-1/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/republic-rf-84f-thunderflash-1/ Thu, 22 Nov 2007 12:57:29 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/republic-rf-84f-thunderflash-1/ 32.14016900 -110.86694800 <![CDATA[Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior 'Whale']]>

Nicknamed “The Whale” by its crews the A-3 Skywarrior is the largest and heaviest aircraft ever designed for regular operation from an aircraft carrier. Originally designed as a strategic nuclear bomber the A-3 proved itself to be very adaptable to other uses and remained in service long after the Navy had lost its role in strategic bombing. Designing for the Skywarrior began in 1948 and the first prototype flew in 1952. In addition to the bomber version the Navy used electronic warfare and aerial tanker versions of the Skywarrior into the 1970s and a few remained in test programs as late as the 1990s.

A total of six A3D-1 bombers were converted to YA3D-1Q (YEA-3A) electronic counter measures aircraft with a pressurized crew compartment replacing the bomb bay.]]>
