#6 is definitely an early C130A. Before the addition of the APN-59 radar.

This airplane is sitting at the entrance of the MOF restoration shop here in Everett.

The rudder on the biplane sure looks more Curtiss than Standard. Maybe a JN-2.

The biplane is a JN-4C Canuck, the Canadian version of the Curtiss Jenny. Lindbergh had one, maybe that's a photo of his.

Edit: I believe it is, here's a photo of Lindbergh's crash in Savage, MN in 1923:

The airplane is now in the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island:

The first pic about made me wanna hurl.... I pegged the funny looking Herky Bird as an A model with a 'small case' a.
I guessed the Canuck as to what it was but couldn't think of the name.
