UC-12W Aircraft
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2011 3:18 pm
Some on this forum may not know this, but my last duty station in my 23 years Navy career was at VFA-204 NAS/JRB New Orleans aka Belle Chase. I still have some pretty good connections in the area. So I want to pass along the following:
USMC UC-12B 161318. The Marine transport Squadron/4 MAW at Belle Chase recently was equipped with two UC-12W aircraft. So 161318 has been retired from service. Its last local flight on March 18, 2011.
That puts the following in service down in the marine hangar in NOLA:
Two UC-12Ws
168204 AE4A7A
168205 AE4A7B
And their two UC-35Cs:
165740 AE04AE
165741 AE04AF
I'm working on an update for the entire base soon for this forum.
