I took a shot of the two fake planes sitting on their stands at the 100th bomber group accross from Cleveland Hopkins airport and thought it would be fun to remove the stnds in photoshop and add some motion blurr to give them the effect of flying.

The 'N' in the squadron number denotes 'Night'. In those days there had to be different aircraft for different jobs. As Jo rightly points out, this one is really an electronic jammer version. The only reason I can suggest for its being painted in this scheme is that the paint gives better protection against the elements.
The Messerschmitt Me 163, designed by Alexander Lippisch, was a rocket-powered fighter aircraft of the German Luftwaffe during WW2. It is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft to have ever been operational. Its design was revolutionary, and the Me 163 was capable of performance unrivaled at the time. Messerschmitt test pilot Rudy Opitz in 1944 reached 1,123 km/h (698 mph). Over 300 aircraft were built, however, mainly due to the peculiar nature of its power plant, the Me-163 proved ineffective as a fighter, having been responsible for the destruction of only about nine Allied aircraft.

The suspended Sea Harrier transforms machine into captive bird, the markings tattooing its surface evoking its namesake the Harrier Hawk. A Jaguar lies belly up on the floor, its posture suggestive of a submissive animal. Stripped and polished, its surface functions as a shifting mirror, exposing the audience to its own reactions. Harrier and Jaguar remain ambiguous objects implying both captured beast and fallen trophy.
[From the Tate website]
Both planes are de-commissioned fighter planes.
The Jaguar has been polished, the Harrier painted with feathers.
Sea Harrier.
This particular plane is BAe Sea Harrier ZE695.
The British Aerospace Sea Harrier is a naval VTOL/STOVL jet fighter, reconnaissance and attack aircraft, a development of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier. It first entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980 as the Sea Harrier FRS1. The Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service in 2006 and the last remaining aircraft from 801 Naval Air Squadron were decommissioned on 29 March 2006.
This P-47 is part of the collection of the New England Air Museum located in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. They have quite a nice collection of different aircraft and other memorabilia. Just $11 admission. Its worth the take.
A US Navy E/A18G Growler flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.
The BAE Systems Hawk is a British single engine, advanced jet trainer aircraft. It first flew in 1974 as the Hawker Siddeley Hawk. The Hawk is used by the Royal Air Force, and other air forces, as either a trainer or a low-cost combat aircraft.
