Rosamond request 18/01/2025

Post by slogen51 » Mon Mar 10, 2025 12:50 pm

Someone might know

Amongst the few wfu CH-46E at Rosamond near Lancaster Ca (dropped them all!) There is what looks like a former NASA T-38

Unfortunately I didn't take photos so only have my notes

Rosamund is very easy- you can park by the fence and see inside what is basically a scrap metal dealer- the choppers are right by the fence

The only thing I potted was a CH-21 Shawnee 'banana ' helicopter

Any help with the T-38 would be gratefully received

Hi Mike,

Whilst I agree it was in NASA cols, I wasn't able to identify it either.

Did you identify the CH-46E fuselage behind the 'banana'?

And do you know, or does anyone know, if the 2no. X-34 alongside the NASA machine were allocated serials, or just known as 'A-1 & A-2'?

Thanks,
Freeman
