He flew three different F-86s during his tour of duty in Korea. His first eight kills came from the first F-86E-10 (Serial No. 51-2753). The second Sabre plane he flew was an F-86F-15 (Serial No. 51-12971) and the third was an F-86F-1 (Serial No. 51-12910). To honour his wife, Pearl “Butch” Brown, all his aircraft were painted as "Beauteous Butch II". On 12 April 1953, Chinese MiG-15 pilot Daoping Jiang shot down McConnell in aerial combat. He ejected out over the Yellow Seas and was later recovered by a helicopter. This Sabre flew with the USAF and the Argentine Air Force. The aircraft is owned and flown by Doug Mathews, and as of 24 Feb 2022 is now airworthy.

Northrop Grumman F-5E Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration (SSBD), DARPA, Aircraft (Serial No. 74-1519), c/n R1177. This F-5E was modified by NASA for a constant area beyond drag optimum to reduce the sonic boom.

The NASA Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration, also known as the Shaped Sonic Boom Experiment, was a two-year program that used a Northrop F-5E Freedom Fighter with a modified fuselage to demonstrate that the aircraft's shock wave, and accompanying sonic boom, can be shaped, and thereby reduced. The program was a joint effort between NASA's Langley Research Center, Drydent Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB, California and Northrop Grumman.
