Marko,
The tail no. listed on the 174th web page with the pic is 65-00910 not 65-09910, but the Army Gold book lists 65-09910 and the PDF of all 174th birds lists it as 65-09910 as well. The golg book is in error abot 20% of the time so it's uncler whether the photo caption is wrong or the Gold Book is wrong (since that's where the number come from for the PDF entry). Do you have any additional source for he tail no. info? Here is the complete entry from the Gold Book:
