Why did they change the Bureau Number? It's still the same aircraft...View attachment 1312782
F9F-5 USN 125316
I used to play on it as a kid in the 80's, we had unrestricted access on it and inside it. It had concrete poured in some areas to make a floor.
The train that was next to it was recently restored, and oddly enough, you can still go in the train and hurt yourself!
125316 was restored! I can't believe it, don't know if it can fly, but I'm shocked they restored it, it was so full of kid piss, bubble gum and concrete, amazing to see it now, may need to go on a journey....

This Aerial Visuals page provides airframe history details of a specific airframe from the airframe database.www.aerialvisuals.ca
I was under the (perhaps mistaken??) assumption that the BN stays with an aircraft until a hull loss.
