ZZZ Unidentified Pilots

Assorted Unknown/Unidentified Pilots

 

While processing the information on the Formation Diagrams, T/O Charts and Load Lists, there are times when it is difficult to determine the correct pilot, especially when multiple pilots have the same name.

An example might be “Lt. Brown”  … which could refer to JC Brown, LG Brown, TK Brown or WW Brown. And there are eight different pilots named Johnson on the roster!

Most of these situations can be resolved by narrowing which options are not possible, it will just take some further investigation… and I’m not there yet.

Until then, this page will serve as a catch-all for these Pilots, yet to be identified.
