Re: Need help finding some serials and codes - post war accidents in/off Norway
In the hope that someone can come up with a serial I've come back to this post to update question 6.
I got information on a facebook forum that the incidident was with a plane from VF-32. This would be from a crew member at JFK.
6. This one is a mystery, was it VF-14 or 32?
04.10.1973 F-4B Phantom II VF 32 or 14 USN Bodø A Soviet Tu-16*Badger*overflew the USS John F. Kennedy (CVA-67) in the Norwegian Sea. While attempting to escort the bomber away from the area, a US Navy F-4 Phantom II collided with it. The Tu-16 safely returned to its base and the F-4 landed at Bodø Norway.
From another website I've got these serial/code correlations from this cruise:
F-4B VF-32 153067 AB-201, 153016 AB-202, 153010 AB-203, 155208 AB-204, 152221 AB-206, 151504 AB-207, 151002 AB-210, 150490 AB-211, 152321 AB-212, 152968 AB-214
I have yet to find which individual aircraft was involved in this incident, so if anybody can help here I'd appreciate it.
