the first one looks to be marked vf-51 ("Screaming Eagles") squadron from pre-1995 (which was when the squadron was retired).

Looks like we have a few other plane buffs on here.

and

V-22 OSPREY is the first one.

YF2Y-1 SEA DART... its on the side of it btw so that gives it away. Though at first glance I thought X-15 because of the angle of the pics but noticed the skis and other variations quickly after.

AC-130 gunship II (basically a modified C-130 Hercules, anyways thats either an AC-130H Spectre/ AC-130U Spooky depending on which avionics and whatnot other sytems I wont bore you with detailing)... one of my favorites and the sucessor to the AC-47 gunship I (aka. puff the magic dragon) from the days of veitnam.

there is no super fudd in this thread that I see so far, I am confused.

edit: and from looking at the exhaust nozzles you are right, I should have looked more closely... the second one does look like a F110-GE-400 in the F14B/ D and not the TF30-P-414A of the earlier F14A.
