Sale Date...........Aircraft Remains..............Sale Location...........Buyer If Known
4 Sep 1980......U-1B, F-111..................NAS Patuxent River, MD

The F-111 & U-1B photo was taken on 5-22-80 when I was at Pax River on another mission. I believe the Navy used the Otter to tow X-26 gliders for the YO-3 program. The F-111 was the prototype - the Navy deciding F-111's were too large for carrier ops. The U-1B is BuNo 144671 and F-111 BuNo 151970.

The second photo of T-38 was laying nearby - sale date unknown. I checked serial 10889 and it was an Air Force bird - 1961 - and according to Joe Baugher's lists, was transferred to Navy as BuNo 610889.
