This yard bought some 125 H-34's from another dealer and the aircraft are now stored, in a rather poor state, in a compound near to Davis Monthan AFB and the Pima Aircraft Museum, Tucson, AZ.

148095
Lookin' thru the ol' log book, my second flight in country was in 148095, 11/6/66. Flew it again 1/2/67, but never again. Probably full of holes from that last flight of mine.
150255
I also had a few flights in 150255 Sept.10 and 19, 1966 while with HMM-161 at Phu Bai.
