B-25 
The North American B-25 “Mitchell” bombers, named after Gen. “Billy” Mitchell, were the most effective medium bombers of World War II, probably best remembered for the carrier-launched Doolittle Raid against Japan in April of 1942.
B-17 
The B-17 Flying Fortress has become, for many reasons, an icon of American power and a symbol of its Air Force.
G-21
Turbine
Goose
Rugged, roomy, powerful, and above all amphibious, the Grumman Goose can go anywhere. Its boat hull and retractable landing gear provide the ability to take off from and land on a runway or the water, so the Goose can get to places most aircraft can't.
A-10 
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an Americansingle-seat, twin-engine, straight-wingjet aircraft. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.
