Fort Wayne:  Air Guard Base A-10, F-4, F-16, F-84, F-86, F-100, T-33    June 2020

This section shows the change of thirteen years from 2007 to 2020.  I knew that the Air Guard had updated its display out in front of the base, but had not made the 75 mile trip to do a photo shoot of the aircraft.  Covid changed all of that, as the trip up to Fort Wayne did not put me in contact with any persons, and it gave me something to do while museums for the most part were closed or too risky to visit.  Here is what the aircraft display looks like as of June 2020.

The base now has an airpark where the public can come in and walk around and visit the aircraft the unit has flown since its activation after World War Two.  The fighters shown here are in the reverse order from which they were flown.  Starting from the far end of the photo, the aircraft are F-86, F-84, F-100, F-4, F-16, and A-10.  The current aircraft flown by the Fort Wayne Air Guard is the A-10.  In theory, the unit is supposed to move to the F-35 in the future.  This is problematic in that the F-35 is an extremely loud aircraft, and the guard base is co-located with the Fort Wayne International Airport and business park.  It remains to be seen whether the F-35 actually ends up here.

Fort Wayne flew the F-86A from 1956 to 1958. 

Fort Wayne flew the F-84F from 1958 to 1971. 

Fort Wayne flew the F-100D/F from 1971 to 1979. 

Fort Wayne flew the F-4C/E from 1979 to 1992.

Fort Wayne flew the F-16C from 1992 to 2010. 

Fort Wayne has flown the A-10C from 2010 to the present. 

On the opposite side of the parking lot is this T-33, which represents the F-80s and T-33s it flew from 1954 to 1956. 

Before the F-80 the unit flew the P-51 Mustang.  There is a spot in the air park for a P-51, if one become available for outside display. 

March 2012 - The aircraft have been moved out to the front along the road. It appears this may be opened later as a public air park.

Munster:  The Edward P. Robinson Community Veterans Memorial  UH-1  July 2009  This is the most elaborate and comprehensive Veterans Memorial we have seen to date.  This is actually is a well landscaped and winding walkway that starts at the end of the 19th century and takes in all of the wars through the present.  There are date markers along the walkway that gives significant events that have happened in a particular year.  There are sculptures and memorials for WWI, WWI, Korea, Vietnam, and the first Gulf War.  As can be seen below the Huey is just a small part of the Vietnam section.  More at:  http://www.communityveteransmemorial.org/default.asp

Richmond:  Airport  A-6    July 2007  Very rarely do you see a Navy aircraft on display.  Especially at an airport surrounded by cornfields.  An assist goes to Greg Morehead who notified me of this Intruder, which has been on display at Richmond since 1996. 

May 2023 update:  Greg Morehead gets another assist as he has informed me this aircraft is no longer at the airport.  Some research indicates it moved in April 2022 to the Wayne County Veterans Memorial Park.  I will re-photograph it at its new location on my next trip to Richmond.

Vincennes:  Indiana Military Museum  A-4, F-16, Mig-17, TS-11  Updated February 2016 - The Museum has added four aircraft to its collection since my initial visit two years ago, bringing its total up eleven on display.

The PLZ TS-11 Iskra is a Polish jet trainer.  A few have ended up in the US.  This is the second one I have seen over the years.

Vincennes:  Indiana Military Museum   A-26, C-45, C-47, F-4 T-33, TM-76B and UH-1  February 2014

This was taken from across the street but one can see the C-47 and the Mace driving south down 6th Street or Business 41 as one approaches the museum in Vincennes.

From across the street this view shows the T-33, F-4 and UH-1.

TM-76B Mace.
