photo 1 :
62-5978 on the ramp at NKP , August 1964 - photo by Mr. Jim Burns.
The
serial number was painted over and yet we know that this is 5978. Through
"detective work" (compairing
several pictures) Mr. Burns came to the conclusing that this is not 4565 (and
4564 is seen in this picture - just below "FORCE") because the
overpainted area below the door is lighter grey than on 4565 (see NKP Page
4).
photo 2 : 62-5978 is seen here during September 1964 with SSgt Jim Burns at left and SSgt Chuck Severns at right. Photo credit goes to Mr. Severns
photo 3 : This enlargement of a part of photo 1 "proves" that the third HH-43B in the row (NKP Page 4) is 62-4564
