More than most of us needed to know about the SOC-1 but interior USN equipment may help modelers.

This one was a mystery - a USAF T-28B after searching Baugher's files and asking his opinion, although the number displayed is O-58334 using USN list this is likely
s/n 55-138334 c/n 200-405 which was BuNo 138334 transferred to USAF - photoed May 1971

Warning: You may see more coastie shots as my third son in law is one

The USAF T-28B is on display at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon - home of the "Spruce Goose". Many thanks for posting the pic - I've been looking for one of 8334 in Air Force markings.

Very cool pics! I wonder what the heck the pilots did most of the time they were stationed on the BB's and CC's.

A recent trip, June 9th 2021, to Jackson Barracks, Louisiana National Guard headquarters, New Orleans:

Douglas B-26B 44-35937 (shown as A-26C-50-DT) went to Chile 1958 as gate guard, conv to B-26D, April 1997 to New Orleans.

Numbered as F102A, Baugher site says it went Turkey, however Baugher says this airframe is actually YF-102A 53-1787 which is the first (or second according to how one reads the listing) aircraft of the type.
