Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA: United States Air Force Academy / USAFA - McDonnell Douglas F-15A Eagle on static display, McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in the background. This 1976 model F-15 flew most of its career with the 48th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) at Langley AFB, Virginia. The jet was painted in the colors of Tyndall AFB, Florida (TY), for its last few missions. The F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine air superiority fighter manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (part of Boeing since 1997). As the classification already implies, it was designed to establish and maintain air superiority. In this role, over time it almost completely replaced the F-4 Phantom II. The F-15 has now been superseded to some extent by the F-22 Raptor.

Beja Airport, Portugal: sonar buoys chutes - sonobuoys are used in anti-submarine warfare and submarine rescue - there are two main types, active buoys send out sonar pulses, which reflect off of the submarine, and the return is datal inked back to the aircraft, passive buoys listen for any radiated noise from the submarine contact -  hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment are below the water surface, the buoy relays acoustic information from its hydrophone via UHF/VHF radio to operators on board the aircraft - Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft, a military derivative of the Lockheed L-188 Electra.

Pair of supplementary fuel tanks on dolly trolleys near a taxiway and nearby fire extinguisher - 300 gallon centerline / belly tanks usable in aircraft such as the the F-16 fighting falcon. A German invention, drop tanks were introduced in the 1930s on fighter aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109.  The mostly cylindrical, aerodynamically shaped tanks are generally attached to external load carriers under the fuselage, the wings or on wing tips. The aircraft's fuel supply is switched so that the fuel is first transferred from the drop tanks to the internal fuel tanks. Like any external load, external tanks affect the speed of an aircraft through their air resistance (drag) and the maneuverability of an aircraft through their weight and limited structural strength. Furthermore, they increase the radar cross section  As the name implies these can be dropped in flight.
