BuNo 150907

[tehag]

According to www.gonavy.jp/CVW15-NL1967.html aircraft F-4B BuNo 150907 was deployed with CVW-15 onboard USS Coral Sea from July 1967 to April 1968. When crosschecking with the scramble database BuNo 150907, I find that the aircraft is logged as an F-8E, and according to http://www.joebaugher.com/navy_serials/ ... ies19.html the aircraft crashed in the Gulf of Tonkin in August 1966.

I'm confused...does anyone knew where the misunderstanding is?

Though there are tons of errors on the site of Joe Baugher, the batches are generally correct. So given that the batch 150843/150932 is listed as F-8 (and a few of these still alive), I think you can savely say the Go Navy site is incorrect.

Incidentally, you can find a photo of the F-8 online!

According to the Scramble database (search for code NL-110) 150997/NL-110 lost it to a MiG on 19nov67, while with VF151. So small typo at gonavy.jp it seems.
