Hi,

Hi Oscar,

Nice long log. On the above three if you noted them using the four digits on the nose then their FY will be 60. If their FY is 61 then the number on the nose will be noted as 1XXX for example: 61-0002 has 1002 on the nose.

Cheers,

Tally.

Hi Oz,

Some comments and remarks.
B-52's:
60-0014 is stored at Davis Monthan. Lasted noted by myself in 2005.
0046 as mentioned in my previous post this is most likely a FY 60. The problem with the 60-0046 is that it is stored at Davis Monthan as well. I noted it last in April of 2007.

A-10's:
79-0097 is probably a missread. This aircraft is preserved in Myrtle Beach.

Preserved aircraft:
A-10A is the 76-0552.
F-4C is the 63-7532.

Happy spotting. Hope the snow in TX doesn't make you feel like home!!! From 23C to -7C in a matter of two days is even for this rusted Dutchman tough.

Tally.
