Civi aircraft museums regularly purchase former front line aircraft for display purposes. And iirc a couple of those were also ordered by the US navy but I dont know if they were ever actually sold any. Im am surpised to see the Blackjack in there, I thought the US military were still wary of showing them for classified material reason.
