Hey Rob, that's not just a lead. Archie is actually the one who goes and pulls the records by serial number, interprets them, and then sends you a translated copy. He IS the MAN, no one else to go too. You can contact him through the USAF History Office website.

I was hoping to determine the pedigree of the seven O-2's currently being offered for sale in Colorado. I've been wondering if there might be a very special airframe in amongst the bunch. Their serial numbers are as follows:

67-21310
67-21352
67-21434
68-10967
68-10976
68-11157
68-6877
68-6897
