F-4 Phantom II BuNo identification

Tue May 29, 2007 7:24 pm

Hoping someone here can help me.

I was at Santa Rosa, CA. airport back in late 2003 and there was a Phantom II on display briefly in front of the terminal.

1) Does anyone know the BuNo of this aircraft?
2) Does anyone know where this aircraft is now?

Here is a pic of me in front of the aircraft back in 2003:

I believe the aircraft is either the original aircraft belonging to Charles De Bellevue, or was color scheme configured to look like his aircraft:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like the example displayed by the Pacific Coast Air Museum.

No serial number is listed, but a quick google search yields 64-0823

Many thanks Bryan!
Looks like the Phantom stopped off at Santa Rosa and stayed in Santa Rosa...

And, I hope the Warbird Registry can be updated with this BuNo Phantom.

Regards,
Mike

Just pointing out the obvious, but USAF aircraft have "serial numbers" and USN aircraft have "bureau numbers".

BuNos don't generally comply with the format of the "fiscal year - sequence number" format that serial numbers do.
