Hi Folks...
I'm looking for any & all information regarding the US Coast Guard serial numbers that they put on their rotary-wing & fixed-wing aircraft. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about here....those big black numbers, usually 4 digits, that one sees near the nose. I'm particularly looking for what aircraft had the number '1227' and a listing of all the Grumman HU-16s & Sikorsky Pelicans they had in the past. All help & replies very much appreciated. Regards.

Try searching the Scramble database.

I checked for the 1227 and didn't find anything but some of your other queries may be answered.

It seems that the new C-130J models are all in the 2000 series. 2005 is sitting on the Ramp in Anchorage right now.

Thanks for the replies & help, guys. I went to Amazon.com, and bought a 'slightly used' copy of the Pearcy book that 2912n recommended. I also checked out US Coast Guard website. Their 'fact file' is still under construction, but nevertheless informative. Did anyone know that the USCG had operated 91 different HU-16 Albatross? Still looking for which aircraft carried '1227'. Maybe the Pearcy book will tell me. Thanks again, and regards. Wink/being sarcastic
