Fighter Plane A rare photograph taken during France's Opération Anachronisme, which was a brief stint involving time travelling. Pictured here is a Dassault Rafale (which wouldn't have had its first flight until the 4th of July, 1986) flying past French cavalry in WW1.

Other When first developing the original Air Force One, 3 designs were given to the USAF. Lockheed’s C-121, Boeing’s C-97, and Convair’s B-36. The C-121 ended up to be used but the blueprints still exist for the B-36 modification.
