I think Peter fell onto a trap on that one.
A couple sites have listed it has a combat vet with the same codes
and name which came from the WVANG with the C being for Collard.
He has stated it wasn't a combat vet and had around 250 hours when he bought it.

As seen here, straight from the horse's mouth!

The article states that it was a 357th bird, but then goes on to say that the history trail stops at 1952. So how can it be confirmed as a 357th bird?

Where is Martin when we need him! I'd like to know as well...the other route is to get the history card from Maxwell AFB. I haven't done that in years...it used to take months to get a response.
