** NOTE: Airplane went unservicable at MCAS Cherry Point when on the way to Gulf. It was swapped for VMO-1 OV-10A BuNo. 155435/ER-11.
The airplane had UU-04 code and then they just oversprayed the UU tail code with ER tail code. It was probably really soon transferred for conversion to D+ version (pic from 11/08/1991 in fresh 3-color camo)
