Link To Navy A/C BUNO Assignment/Disposition...

[BusyBee604]

Several years ago, a link was posted on AW , which listed all Navy A/C by type/BUNO blocks, and their individual ultimate disposition. I would like to use it to research the fate of many of the A/C in my flight logbook. I've tried the AW search, but to no avail. If some member who has access to this link, would post it here, it would be most appreciated.

Started reading BzB's post and first thought was Joe's site - quite incredible records he has - also an Air Force/Army side if anyone is interested.

As were the beautiful JoSans of Yokosuka, and the glorious LBFMs of 'Po-Town!

Interesting, that pile of razor blades is apparently "repairable"

Betting there was no shortage of crew volunteers to fly the post-repair test flight on that clunker?

I am guessing you were able to see first hand what the result of the 7G pullout looked like? I was in class with a NFO who happened to know 1 or 2? of the pilots and my understanding was that it was not pretty when they landed.

Yeah, they parked that fine piece of machinery at the end of our line until they ground it up into scrap in the middle of the grass.
Impressive that it withstood the G-load long enough to land, saw the pix afterward and amazed it kept flying.
Don't think they'll return that one to the fleet.

I've talked to everyone who was on that aircraft (minus one or two) and its pretty sobering to hear their stories. That was my old squadron and happened a year before I checked in. After seeing the recreation video and data, they're very lucky to be alive.

I know the IP who flew that flight. I went to ECP with him and we were on the boat together. He is a great dude who continues to serve today. Lets just say that there may be something to that whole currency thing and that crazy CRM program might just be on to something. He is very contrite and he and his wife and kids are very happy he is alive.

Aren't VP PPT requirements that we have today in part as result of this incident?
