Ive got a bunch of them.

From left to right, top row: B-52, B-52, B-57 Canberra, B-58 Hustler, No idea, F-111 Aardvark

Second one from the left on the top row of fighters is a T-33 (F-80)

Bottom left C-130

Im not to big on the military jets, but I can recognize most planes.

Hard to tell from the blurryness on the left, and all over, but I'll try

Top; Two B-52's, B-57, B-58, dunno, F-111, three F-86's?

Middle; Dunno, F-89 Scorpion, dunno dunno dunno, T-33, tree, T-33

Other middle; Dunno but it kinda looks like an F-104, F-4, dunno, One of the Century series fighters, F-105, Vixen?? A-4, Panther, dunno

Bottom; dunno, F-106 8), dunno, F-104 for sure, F-106, another century series fighter (Demon?), dunno

A few Buckeyes in the bottom right

Bottom left, looks like a DC-9 on steroids and a C-130 (or a P-3, hard to tell)

I reckon the one you both missed in the top line is a B-66. I had a Monogram model of one many years ago.

three F-86's?

I think 2 of those might be MiGs.

Bottom left, looks like a DC-9 on steroids

Caravelle perhaps? ;)

Amongst the others that have been mentioned, there is definately a Douglas Skyray in there, a Delta Dart and a Delta Dagger. I think there is also a Douglas skynight down at the bottom and an F5 Freedom Fighter/Talon as well as a Grumman Tiger.

edit: There is also a Harrier at the left end of the third row.

I think you may be in error on that one Jake. to me it appears to have a low wing setup, it could be something like a military version of a DC4 ?

Yes, I think you're right. After posting that list, I went searching on A.net and found this picture:

Top is definitely a Caravelle. Bottom is definitely not a C-130. It's also not a P-3. Orions have a long 'sticky-outy-bit' at the rear of the fuselage.

Image

THIS is a C-130 ;).

I'm off hunting on A.net for the aircraft at the bottom of the top pic... :)

Found it... it's a Vickers Viscount! Somehow a classic Brit like that ended up in there!

Viscount

That picture shows it infront of the building, and the aircraft behind it is a Caravelle. Trust me ;)

Caravelle
