WEDNESDAY , MAY 4 2011.

UH-60A 85-24475) 75N USArmy
UH-60A (86-24510) 10L USArmy
UH-60A 07F USArmy
UH-60A 54F USArmy

I photographed 75N on 10th May, I can read-off 24475 on the tail so that's confirmed.
I also shot 10L on the same day, with 24510 on the tail so that's another confirmed Black Hawk.
And I can photo ID 07F as 0-24407 and 54F as 83-23854.

For the TH-67s I will just focus on those listed without a serial.

Hi Hans,

I have visited Shell the same day and I have the following extra's;

OH-58C 71-20675/75H
OH-58C 71-20496/96C
OH-58C 71-20578/78G

All read from photo's...am still trying to decifer the rest. Not easy with those Backlit Army Choppers.

One other thing, I have the 49F in the books as 70-15349...however on my picture it almost certainly reads like 70-15348. But that one should have been rebuilt into an OH-58D......mistake by painter or the books? And if so, the codes / serial connection can't be taking for granted!

I certainly read O-15349. The "9" is the same style as in the black "49F" on the cabin door !!
Thank you very much for your addition of OH-58C with code 75H. (78G and 96C were in my log) If you can sent me a log of your Shell visit it would be great !

[Arjan]

Hi Hans,
Sounds plausible indeed!

Not so much of a log yet because it is hard to read the Kiowa's, but I can give you the codes;

How easy is it to get around Fort Rucker?

[K2G]

The OH-58 field, the TH-67 field and the C-12 field are outside the guarded Fort Rucker complex, and you can spot here from the public roads. All other fields are inside the guarded Fort Rucker complex, but also the Army museum is inside the complex. So entering the complex is no problem...

[Melchior Timmers]

So from the museum on, you can guide yourself past the the other fields?

[K2G]

Yep

[Melchior Timmers]

Thanks!

[raameagle]

I understand that views of Hanchey have all but disappeared due to a new hangar complex being built. AM will confirm as he was there last year.

I'm trying to work on a stored list for the UH-1s at Ozark- Blackwell Field. Could anyone assist with photo sharing. I've just come back and a lot of the paperwork (with serials on) has started to fall away/peel off from the windows. Probably sun/heat.
