Modex 301 Tucson IAP, AZ 1993

[Bob Prescott]

Noted at Tucson IAP, AZ in October 1993 were 16 or 17 UH-1B's in a compound including one marked "Navy" and modex 301. Was this a Seawolves aircraft. I have a scanned photo where this can be seen in the background but not a very good one. From a list of identified serials the following, at least, were Seawolves aircraft but modex unknown as per list of aircraft on this site.

62-4604
64-14022

Were either of these 301?

The following were in the yard but had left before my visit
62-1970 to museum at  Kingman Oct-93 with boom from 62-4605, 62-1970 was "327"
153762 last identified there in 1990 was "324"

Regards

There was at least 1 Seawolf Aircraft in a AZ storage yard ---- I'm pretty sure it was 324 which was pulled out, to be a movie prop to be destroyed ----   when the logs were read, it was discovered that one of the (3) had a very distinctive history that couldn't be wasted in a Hollywood wreck scene -------  as I remember, this is the 324 that was TOTALLY returned to show condition ----- on the second attempt, 324 made it to Oshkosh where, as I remember, it took first place in the WAR BIRDS division. Also, I believe Mike Connally had the opportunity to crew her while at Oskosh --- Mike, could you tell us more !?
