165601 T-45C
162672 TH-57C

163451/1 F/A-18C
163435/2 F/A-18C
163765/3 F/A-18C

188771 CF-188A
68-16104 (N104HF) UH-1H
70-16426 (N426HF) UH-1H
USAF 11016 (N621GT) O-2A (Not sure if this is actually ex-mil or just a C-337 painted as an O-2)
U-3A Blue Canoe - civilian registration, but ex USAF and still painted as such. Didnt photograph due to time limitation, so not sure on serial!
43-16369 C-47D (marked as AC-47D 43-770/EN)
A distant shot of what seems to be a T-33A with 0-54109 (or 64109) on the tail - this was in the static area, but I didn't get time to go see it. Looked like it was on some kind of stand, but I can't find any info or images of this!
According to a list GOOSE sent me on Saturday from MSF, there was also a T-6A (99-3564) present, but I didn't see this anywhere!
I've missed the warbirds off - as I didn't see any of them up close (only arrived near the end of the show to see the Blue Angels and Golden Knights)
Regards
Ben

Re: Tuscaloosa Alabama Airshow 1st April 2012
Hi Ben -
I attended Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (several departures) at Tuscaloosa, and may be able to help with some missing details:
I have Blue Angel 7 as # 163464
U-3A Blue Canoe Reg: N5076A / Serial #: 310M0018
T-33 Number is correct (0-54109), and yes, it is mounted on some kind of square block.
The T-6 Texan II Number I have is: 99564 (this one left Sunday and I believe it is the same one which returned on Monday for some low-passes down runway 22)
There was also a T1 Jayhawk from Rio Lobos (93637)
Warbirds:
F-4U: N99964
P-51's: N251CS "Charlotte's Chariot II"
N210D "Sarah Jean"
N51KB "Ain't Misbehavin' "
The KC-130T Returned very briefly Monday to drop off a Blue Angel Pilot (I assume to fly back #4, which remained overnight for repair.) I believe they picked up the maintenance crew before leaving.
The Golden Knight's C-31A was # 51608
Regards,
John Nyren
