USN165070 —

Program wouldn't allow me to put USMC165070 in the Registration/Tail # block.

Rick - the "registration" is simply the Bureau Number (BuNo) showing on the tail... 165070. All aircraft/helicopters that fly with the Marines carry a US Navy BuNo for registration... excepting some "borrowed" from the USAF or US Army. There are rare occasions when such happens and the USAF registration number is retained or transposed to a BuNo. Read Mr. Joe Baugher's interesting commentary and history regarding these numbers if you desire... it's quite informative and carefully researched!
