will keep trying to get the truth
That would be great. Before I close the books, I am going to attempt to check out the Division Histories of each of the six Marine Corps Divisions and see if they can shed some light on the subject. I will also ask some contacts at PAX River if they know of anything.
rumors are a fact of life in the military but they almost always have a basis of truth; the trick is finding the source, (basis of) of the wellspring for that truth.
If the T-16 was in the exploritory stage of assignment, it might be regulated to a test and eval unit and not actually assigned to the fleet; similar to what the folks at PAX River do with an aircraft before it is accepted. Fred
