The Vietnam War became known as the world's first true "Helicopter War," forever changing modern combat.

Three helicopters tell that story: the Hiller OH-23 Raven, Sikorsky UH-34D Seahorse, and the legendary Bell UH-1 Huey. Each marked a major step in the evolution of battlefield aviation.

The OH-23 pioneered reconnaissance and artillery spotting, proving helicopters could transform ground warfare. The rugged UH-34D became the U.S. Marine Corps' workhorse, carrying troops, evacuating casualties, and supplying front-line forces. Their success paved the way for the iconic Huey, which came to symbolize the Vietnam War itself.

Together, these helicopters didn't just support the fight—they revolutionized how wars would be fought for generations to come.

While the Korean War marked the beginning of the jet age, two World War II veterans proved they were far from obsolete—the F-51 Mustang and the A-26 Invader.

The F-51 provided vital close air support during the war's critical early months, attacking enemy troops, tanks, and artillery while helping hold the line at the Pusan Perimeter. By night, the A-26 Invader relentlessly hunted enemy trucks, trains, bridges, and supply depots, disrupting the flow of men and materiel to the front.

Though often overshadowed by the F-86 Sabre and other early jets, these proven piston-engine warbirds played a decisive role in Korea. Together, the F-51 Mustang and A-26 Invader proved that experience, reliability, and firepower still mattered in the first major conflict of the jet age.

Captain Joe Peterburs flew 76 combat missions in Korea with the F-51 Mustang. Joe is our special guest, and we know you will not want to miss his talk about his experience.

Long before leading NASA or commanding private space missions, Jared Isaacman was simply a pilot with a passion for aviation.

An active supporter of the warbird community and a member of Warbirds of America, Isaacman has always believed historic aircraft were built to fly. That passion led him to acquire Paul Allen's legendary MiG-29 Fulcrum—not as a museum piece, but as an opportunity to experience one of history's greatest fighter aircraft from the cockpit.

Today, while serving as NASA Administrator, Isaacman remains what he has always been at heart: a pilot, an aviation enthusiast, and a champion of preserving the history and legacy of flight.

Few World War II fighters can match the combat record of P-51B Mustang 42-106602, "Shillelagh." More than a beautifully restored aircraft, it honors the pilots and ground crews of the legendary 353rd Fighter Squadron and 354th Fighter Group—the "Pioneer Mustang Group."

Assigned to Lt. David B. O'Hara, Shillelagh flew an incredible 95 combat missions over Europe in just five months, aborting only four of 99 scheduled sorties. Escorting bombers deep into enemy territory and battling German fighters, it became one of the group's most dependable warhorses.

At least 20 pilots flew Shillelagh during the war, including Kenneth H. Dahlberg, who was shot down in the aircraft over occupied Europe in August 1944. He survived, evaded capture, and returned to Allied lines.

Today, Shillelagh stands as a flying tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and determination of the men who carried the fight across the skies of Europe.

Built in December 1944, P-51D Mustang 44-72253 "Jane VI" arrived in England just as World War II entered its final months. Assigned to 355th Fighter Group Commander Lt. Col. Bert W. Marshall, Jr., the Mustang escorted B-17 bombers, strafed enemy targets, and helped secure Allied air superiority over Europe.

On March 31, 1945, Marshall and "Jane VI" were heavily damaged by anti-aircraft fire near Munich. Despite the crippled aircraft, Marshall flew more than two hours back to England, where he executed a flawless belly landing—his fourth of the war—saving both himself and his Mustang.

Repaired and returned to combat, the aircraft scored another aerial victory before the war ended. Rediscovered decades later, "Jane VI" remains one of the few authentic combat veterans of the 355th Fighter Group, honoring the courage and determination of the pilots who flew her into history.
