THe CV-22Bs are -0057 and -0058, as far as I know the fiscal has still not been confirmed.

Should be 12 according to :- http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/2012.html

Should being the operative word

Until someone reads it off the airframe or provides a source, I'm sticking with "should" and "unconfirmed" - too many times people have just gone along with what everyone else says and it's been wrong (I've done it too!)

Yup, I agree - for once !

Well, that says they are 21 SOS and that is definitely WRONG.

on the inbound flight plan they put 11-0057 for the lead aircraft - didn't include the serial for the second though. This may be what is causing the confusion.

Left hand side of the fuselage near the cockpit should have the data plate on it...

Yes, but...... letters/numbers are only 0.5in high!!! Very high power lenses required.

Nice one, Adam

This should do the trick! Should work on tour camera, too!

Both of the CV-22s are FY11. '0058' has 11-0058 on the radio call plate in the cockpit and also on the manufacturers plate. I have read it myself. The construction number of '0058' is D1037 and not D1039. I haven't read off the c/n of '0057' but I suspect it will be D1036.

The next delivery should be in a couple of months time.

Since when have the Ospreys been assigned to POTUS?

I read 11-0057 off today, straight from the plate:-

SER 110057 (11-0057)
ACCEPTED 12/03/2013
MFR EFF NO (C/n) D1036

So that is both confirmed now.
