Rob,

The F11F Tiger is at Walker Field in Grand Junction, Colorado. I do not know its BuNo.

The burnt out Skyhawk is A-4B c/n 11954, BuNo 142892.

The agressor Skyhawk is A-4E BuNo 151038.

I do not know the ID of the Phantom.

Todd

Is the burnt-out Skyhawk 142892 the one that was used for a recreation of a fighter crash on "Rescue 911" several years ago?

That burnt out A-4 was on the "mini-deck" as a fire fighting training aid at China Lake. I remember when it left here on a flatbed....

Rob,

I you want a reference for the IDs of the aircraft at Yanks, you might want to use my Webshots album as a reference...

http://community.webshots.com/album/268853618UNxsYa

...unfortunately I don't have an ID for the F-4 either.

BTW... If anyone would like a challenge of identifying Unkonwn airframes than feel free to take a crack at my "Unidentified Airframes" Webshots album...

Does anyone know the ID on this F-94C (I assume its a "C" but never really checked into it) in Western PA.? It located just off I-90 and is viewable from the highway. I think it is just south of Erie but I could be wrong on that.
