    Dates

    Event

    1965

    Constructed as a X-19A.

    25 August 1965

    First aircraft, 62-12197, crashed at the FAAs National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center, Caldwell, New Jersey, (formerly NAS Atlantic City), when the gearbox failed, followed by loss of propellers. The crew suffered minor injuries from ejection through the canopy.

    Circa November 1965

    Taken on Strength/Charge with the United States Air Force with s/n 62-12198.
    History unclear--May not have been TOS.

    Circa November 1965

    Scheduled to participate in Tri-Service VTOL program at Edwards AFB, CA, but never flew.

    December 1965

    The crash itself did not end the X-19 program. The Air Force wanted to continue with testing the second prototype, which was nearing completion, but wanted to switch to a fixed price contract. Curtiss-Wright did not like that, because they would now take all financial risk. Their management also saw no future business in a commercial VTOL transport, even if the X-19 ultimately proved successful. They refused the Air Forces offer. Unable to come to any agreement, the program ended in December 1965. (Aviastar.org.).

    To Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, MD.
    Became derelict.
