This photo of ROCAF RF-101A 5654 (54-1499) was taken around the end of 1964 by Joseph Donoghue. It had just landed as evidenced by the open drag chute compartment.
This is how it looks like now:

5654不就是謝翔鶴遭擊落的座機嗎？
以前聽人講是停放在桃園基地的這架RF-101A是編號錯漆？
保存在桃園空軍基地的RF-101A是5654，謝翔鶴遭擊落的座機是5651，版主寫的 ROCAF Combat Losses Since 1950 裏面資料指謝翔鶴駕的是5654 並不正確。
如果謝翔鶴的飛機是5651，這就證明RF-101有單數號碼的存在。RF-100A最後一架是5648，所以RF-101第一架可能是5649，再來是5650，5651和5652，之後我還沒有證據顯示5652之後有單數號碼存在，現有5652到5660的號碼都是偶數，而且都是A型(請見我在另一個話題的post)。如果C型有來台灣，可能是插空隙，採用單數號碼，例如5653或5657之類，但是從未見過照片。
I though all RF-10X recon aircraft has even number?
not all RF-10X recon’s had even numbers.

if the last RF-100A was 5648, than my guess is the RF-100A Slick Chicks had serial numbers from 5645 – 5648 inclusive.
You are absolutely right:
5645: 53-1545
5646: 53-1546
5647: 53-1547
5648: 53-1554
What I think is interesting is that although RF-101A entered ROCAF service ealier than RF-100A, RF-101A initially had three-digit serial numbers (6xx) while RF-100A were serialed in four digits (56xx). Also, I have not seen any photo of odd-numbered RF-101A when they still had three-digit serial numbers. Does anybody has photos of odd-numbered RF-101?
