ROCAF

reports ROCAF will send F-104G, 4420, to the Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum in Portland, Oregon, USA,
http://www.classicaircraft.org/index.html
and it will be restored to flying condition – whilst keeping its ROCAF markings!

After 4420 retired, it was preserved indoor at the aerospace faculty of an university, so it was in the best condition amongst the about 20 retired ROCAF F-104s displayed at various parks and schools. In exchange, the museum establishes a scholarship award at the university.

Uncertain. Possibly a screen cap from a witness’s home video?

Guests at Zhu Hai air show in Guang Dong Province on 2006.10.31 to 2006.11.05 include the Shen Zhou VI re-entry capsule.

] P-X > P-1 or P-4

On second thought, probably P-4, as I think P-1 to P-3 are already used.
The Kawasaki P-2J, based on the Lockheed P2V-7, retired on 1994.05.26, after about 28 years of service, or 617,893.8 hours; the P-2J had zero crash, albeit many almost-accidents.

The Air National Guard’s 188th Fighter Wing began its transition from F-16 fighter planes to A-10 aircraft Tuesday in a move that bodes well for the wing’s future, according to 188th commander Col. Kevin Wear.

Caption says: A spectacular photograph of a VF-151 F-4B 153913 crashing into the Pacific off the Californian coast during launch from the USS Coral Sea on 30 June 1970. The nose gear of this F-4B failed during launch from the #3 catapult and the aircraft immediately plummeted into the water. (Daniel Sauceda)

] Mig-29 crash in fairford 93 i was a eyewitness.

Gnarly.
I was in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) when a RAF Nimrod stalled and crashed into Lake Ontario, at the Toronto Air Show, on 2 September 1995, but didn’t witness it.
