With all the interest in Mike Mullane's "Riding Rockets", I thought I'd pass on this trivia question...which I don't believe was mentioned by Mike in the book.
There was only one flight crew whose "core" crew members consisted of ONLY Group 8 (TFNG) astronauts.
I'll give everyone interested a chance to answer...

Very good...51-G is correct.
41-C CDR Robert Crippen was a Group 7 (MOL) astronaut selected in 1969.
