North American P-51K-15-NT Mustang
Reg. N51EW has a long story.
Built in 1944 as P-51K-15-NT s/n 44-12840 (airframe 111-36123) and quickly converted to a F-6K (photo reconnaissance). Donated to Civil Air Patrol unit in 1946. After a first private owner, ended in Victory Air Museum, Mundelein, Illinois (USA) in the end of 1960's. Under restoration and P-51D conversion (1982-1987) then christened Montana Miss LG W. Bought by Tom Cruise in 2001 and renamed Kiss Me Kate between 2006 and 2012.

Grumman F-14 Tomcat
At the Naval Air Station North Island main gate, Coronado, California, USA.
The real entrance got a gate guardian as a pole-mounted A-4 Skyhawk (the type piloted by VADM J.B. Stockdale which name adorn the gate).
Computer animation done maybe from BuNo 159623 of Naval Air Warfare Center, Point Mugu Airpark, NAWC Point Mugu, California. Weapons changed (Sparrow erased) and fictitious "Captain Pete Mitchell / Maverick" and 3 kills (symbolizing the MiG-28 scored in Top Gun) added alongside the MODEX 114.
…and another CGI as there are no more flying F-14s, except for those of Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.
