Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 16 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Doug Faunt N6TQS 415-688-8269 I think the Fighter/Pusuit numbers have been covered pretty well, including the F10, which was largely unknown, but which the Marines were flying as electronic warfare aircraft in Vietnam. I saw, worked on and got yelled at for working on, a couple of F10's that transited Lemoore when I was there. I also got yelled at for looking at an installed KY28 in an A4 that was transfered to us from a combat squadron when I reported that it was there. Now my question is about the other P designation, the patrol planes. I've flown in P2's and P3's, I know what a P5 was, and now the P7 is cancelled, according to AvWeek. What were the P1, P4, and P6? Was the P6 the jet powered seaplane?
