EC-47 History Roster by Number

EC-47 History Roster by Number

This List is made up of bits and pieces of data that I receive from
you folks, the ones that were there and have little bits of information
stored back. So if you can fill a blank or correct an error, it would be
greatly appreciated. It may take a while to get it all, but will try.
It is my intent to have only the when and where on this page with a note
only in the event of loss, no history. - - And I will combine some of the
bits of cohesive dates along as I can get to them to make them more readable. J.C.

This aircraft was at least damaged in a Takeoff mishap on November 10, 1971; see Official Incident Report. It is very possible that this aircraft was repaired and returned to service. This seems logical since there in no loss of aircraft specifically described in the incident report. J.C.

45-1080 ("D") This aircraft is believed by some to have been a straight C-47D. This very well could be. I have had two (2) folks refer to the "VIP aircraft at TSN" this could be it. Any further info would be greatly appreciated. J.C.
45-1102 (P) Was at TSN with 360th TEWS, at least from Sept. 1970 to Sept. 1971. *** This aircraft is reported to be the one destroyed by rocket attack at Pleiku and belonging to the 362nd TEWS on the night of 12/13 April, 1972. There is some controversy surrounding "102". I have posted several photos of this aircraft "102" or I should say the remains of it, in a revetment and it was definitely destroyed whether by rocket attack or other cause, but the tail number "102" is clearly visible on one of the photos. These photos place the attack at DaNang and not Pleiku.
45-1131 (Q) Was at Pleiku with 362nd in April 1970 *** This aircraft reportedly destroyed in the same rocket attack as 45-1102 although it did not take a direct hit as did 45-1102, Night of 12/13 April, 1972.
45-1133 (Q) Was at Pleiku with 362nd in April 1970 *** Lost to Hostile Action (Shot Down) February 5, 1969 by 362nd
