During the twentieth century, civil and military aviation has played a prominent role in the history and development of New Mexico. Commercial operators have exploited the advantages offered by aircraft to overcome the unique challenges of geography and climate. By virtue of New Mexico's comparative isolation which suited the secrecy of innumerable military projects, a wide variety of military aircraft have been based there through the years. The list of military aircraft types that made up the tapestry of New Mexico aviation is as extensive as the list of legendary figures who have contributed to its amazing history. While most of the military aircraft types no longer grace the airspace over New Mexico, many can be viewed in their former splendor as they stand as gate guards or museum exhibits. This booklet provides a comprehensive guide to where these restored aircraft can be found. Complementing the details concerning aircraft specifications and roles, the author has included many facts. Finally, the descriptions of the recovery, restoration and preservation efforts stand as a tribute to the many volunteers who have devoted time, energy and financial support to ensure this rich heritage is preserved.

This handbook is designed to provide aviation enthusiasts with a simple checklist on where to find retired military aircraft that are preserved in New Mexico.

Boeing B-29 Superfortress (Serial No. 45-21748), C/N 13643.  According to David Hoover, Curator and Collections Manager for the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, this B-29 did not have a name.  It came out of the factory the day Nagasaki was bombed.  It was most likely with the 19th bomb group in Guam during the Korean War (unconfirmed), and may have have been used as a test bed for the Tarzon missile program.  It may have had a name then. 45-21748 also served with the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell AAF/ Walker AFB in New Mexico. The museum staff conducted a deep scan of the aircraft's surface which allowed them to see past decades of paint to the bare plates, but found no evidence of it having nose art.  (Having nose art is usually evidence of an aircraft that has been in combat).  While it was on display at Chanute AFB, it was painted as the "Enola Gay" and traces of this name were found in the scan under the paint.  The museum does not have information about any missions it may have flown in Korea.  It was at Eglin in 1950 probably to have it modified for use as a test bed.  The museum would like to find any photographs of this plane when it was in active service.  Contributions would be most welcome to help preserve the record of this historic aircraft.  This aircraft is also reported as Boeing B-29 Superfortress (Serial No. 44-69983), "Duke of Albuquerque".

Boeing B-47E-11-BW Stratojet (Serial No. 53-2280).  In the 1960s this aircraft was used as a test bed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base under the designation JB-47E. It was the first USAF aircraft with a fly-by-wire control system. It was transferred to the NMUSAF in 1969 and displayed until 2003. In 2013 it was transferred to the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in Albuquerque, New Mexico for permanent display.
