66-19082, Boeing build number B-340, was a CH-47A helicopter. The U.S. Army acceptance date was 10 April 1967. The administrative strike date was 8 May 1976. 66-19082 accumulated an unknown number of aircraft hours. At some point, in approximately November 1972, 66-19082 was transferred to the Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF). In approximately 1975, near the end of the United States involvement in the Vietnam Conflict, 66-19082 was captured by North Vietnamese forces. In approximately 1996, 66-19082 was rediscovered resting at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, near Saigon, in Vietnam. A Boeing team conducted an evaluation of the airframe, along with another unidentified CH-47A, for possible inclusion into a rebuild program, but found the aircraft too far corroded to be useful. As of 1996, the last known location of 66-19082 was at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, near Saigon, Vietnam. Aircraft status: Not flyable. |
