I am counting a total of 13 aircraft here when the "Blog" states a total of 12. What is the correct #?
it is the 13 stated on the official list.
Where did you see only 12?

i am currently the DCC for acft 88-1308. 87-9284 is not going to be converted to a "W" it is going to be 87-9288 instead. all the planes so far look great as "W's".
Hi. I flew the original Combat Spear (Straygoose) aircraft 547, 561, 562, 563 at Nha Trang in 1966-67. We hadn't heard of Combat Spear in those days while in the war zone. We were officially Det.1, 314th TCW (PACAF), but also known as Straygoose and the "Blackbirds." Hope the new guys appreciate the "Spear" heritage. Richard, pilot, SG-5.
