REQ Can Tho Military museum

Post by witje »

Today I visited the military zone 9 museum in Can Tho Vietnam. A small museum with some w&r. An A-37B, UH-1H and an U-17B can be seen. But who knows the right serials?
A-37 had no id. The huey had 521 on the tail and the U-17 had 0-12723 on the tail. I couldn't find anything about it on the net.

According to Andy Marden's excellent "World Military Out of Service 2012":

521 UH-1 cabin
824 A-37B ex 68-10824 (96437 on canopy)
0-12723 O-1/U-17

........at least this helps identifying the A-37 :wink:

Regards,
Gerard

The U-17 should be an O-1G 51-12723.
