habu2 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was curious about the same thing, but I wanted to know what rolled off the assembly line that day. As others have confirmed the serial # starts with the fiscal year the aircraft was ordered. As for "rolled off the assembly line" I think the closest you will get to that is the day the aircraft was accepted by the service from the mfgr. IIRC this is also called the DD-250 date, named after the DD-250 form that is associated with the delivery and acceptance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimz66 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 You guys could also run your birthday as a Julian date. My BD is 4/12/55 so as posted above 55-0412 but April 12th is also Julian day 102 or 103 in a leap year so 55-0102, 55-0103 would also be valid # for my birthday http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/partners/fepp/julian-calendar.pdf Oh, my numbers: USAF Sn 55-102 B-52D destroyed by fire on the ground 55-103 B-52D destroyed after aborted takeoff 55-412 No history in a block of WB-66D s BUNO 41255 no history a block of RN Helcasts 55412 no history in a block of FM-2 Wildcats I don't understand this. What would 8-27-76 be for this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnl42 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I don't understand this. What would 8-27-76 be for this? The Julian day is the ordinal number of the day in the year. Jan 1 is day 1, Feb 1, is 32, Mar 1 is 60 for non-leap years and 61 for leap years. So, Aug 27, 1976 would be day 240. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sadly it seems your 'birthday plane' is an AGM-45 Shrike missile :D/ So is mine... :( From the National Geographic website, "It might look like a lightweight, but the shrike is a stone-cold killer." I am not a stone cold killer and not by any stretch of anyone's imagination am I a lightweight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

majortomski Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I don't understand this. What would 8-27-76 be for this? Jimz66 I'd break it down like this year month day so a 76-0827 a Shrike Missile or 76-827 Throw in the Julian and you'd have 76-240 another Shrike Missile. BUT you just missed out on being the B-1A! Navy BuNo's can be straight date or reversed so 82776 an F4U-1D corsair or flipped year first 76827 which would have been the 8th J2M Mars built!
