The Aircraft Slide Collection is an assortment of color slides produced by Wayne and Karen Pittman on their travels to various air shows and museums around North America and Europe. Each series is housed in its own flat storage, three-ring binder box. For all of the materials within the collection, items were first divided into subject matters then arranged chronologically or alphabetically. Each slide is sleeved in plastic pages containing twenty slides per sheet. Slides are arranged left to right, top to bottom.

Series II, Museums and Static Displays, is arranged into two subseries: Subseries IIA: United States, and Subseries IIB: Foreign. Each of these subseries is organized alphabetically according to the name of the city or air base that the museum is located.

Series III, Gate Guards and Individual Aircraft, contains slides of various aircraft that have been mounted on a plinth and used as a static display near the main entrance to museums.
