The primary mission of the F-102 was to intercept and destroy enemy aircraft. It was the world's first supersonic all-weather jet interceptor and the USAF's first operational delta wing aircraft. The F-102 made its initial flight on October 24, 1953, and became operational with the Air Defense Command in 1956.

In 1967 the USAF needed a twin-engine forward observation aircraft in Vietnam. Cessna proposed its civilian model 337, then in production. Modifications for the military included pylons for smoke rockets, a smoke generator to make it more visible and a loud speaker in psychological warfare. This "A" version was used to locate enemy ground positions and downed American airmen. The pilot was a "forward air controller" who could call in fighter-bombers to hit the target he designated.

The B-45 was the first jet bomber put into production. It was designed to replace the WWII B-25s and B-26s. It served only from 1948 to 1958. This aircraft displayed at Castle Air Museum was the eighth production Tornado and holds the distinction of being oldest jet in the Museum. After serving in the USAF, this plane was used by the Navy as a drone controller, and later as a photographic ground target at the China Lake Naval Weapons Center where it was recovered in pieces and restored here at Castle.
