Outside of the Stonehenge Air Museum in Ferndale, Montana, is a C-47 Skytrain and an F-5. The museum takes its name from the full-size replica of Stonehenge on the nearby private golf course. All of the airplanes in the museum are owned by a single individual.

C-47 (DC-3)

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain is a World War II military transport aircraft that was developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner.

F-5 (CF-5)

The F-5 fighter jet, designed by Northrup Grumman Corporation, was manufactured from 1964 to 1989. The only non-flying airplane in the museum is mounted on a pedestal near the museum’s runway. It was originally suggested that the F-5 be placed near the highway marking the road back to the museum and golf course, but this is Montana where signs near highways are used for target practice by hunters with high-powered rifles.
