In the USMC hangar next to the music stage was USMC UC-12B 161318. As VMR Belle Chasse had recently reequipped with 2x UC-35C & 2x UC-12W, this elderly UC-12B was retired from service after a last local flight on 18 March 2011.

The F-15 is a C model. The AH-1W carried code MM22, the UH-1N code MM32

[raameagle]

Great reports, thanks. Did anyone check the construction numbers of the UC-12Ws please?

Regards and thanks

Mark

[Arjan]

I didn't, but if they are easily visible on an outside part I can try to crop my pictures......do you know where they are?

[raameagle]

They are on a dataplate on the rear of the fuselage, port side.

[Arjan]

sorry, don't have any pictures from them on the port side!

Hi Mark,

168204 FM-27
168205 FM-28


I checked 204, 205 is from the Scramble database.

Greetings,
Jurgen

[Melchior Timmers]

Nice report.

Are you sure about 163116/AF-406 since we have this one as being used for fatigue test project with National Research
Council in Ottawa, Canada back in 1999.

Cheers,

[Arjan]

Whoops, typo....163113

[Arjan]

Thanks for the updates Hans. And indeed, the 10 carries no AF code. Did you check all the hangars? Allthough I only had a second to see into the one, I am really sure that I noticed the new props of a E-2D i.s.o. Hercs......
