Cannon AFB, NM Air Park

I was TDY to Cannon AFB, NM this week and got a few snaps at their Air Park (just inside the Main Gate).

I’ve never seen an F-101A or C, so that’s a treat.

The F-86 looks to be an “H”. Af ew of those found homes in 1970 when the Maryland Air Gurad gave them up. One became a playground thing at a local school for developmentally disabled children. It was eventually rescued and sent to the March AFB Museum

All of the aircraft showed signs of weathering, with the Voodoo probably being the worst. But in general, they all appeared to be in pretty good shape considering the sun and occasional incliment weather out in eastern New Mexico.

A side note on the Voodoo… this aircraft apparently holds the all-time speed record for aircraft flown at the Edwards AFB test facility.

Voodoo looks a little faded but that first F111 looks very nice and clean!!
