The article mentions 98 survivors "today", to which I added a //when?// tag. More specifically, I wonder if a mention should be made of the crash of an ST3KR in August 2009, at Diest EBDT Airfield in Belgium, apparently through poor fuel management. Or is this too accidental?

The result of the move request was: Not Moved - As there are no clear Supports or Opposes for this move, just random discussion, consensus for a move or not is unclear. As a matter of procedure, editors participating in an RM discussion should clearly identify their position as Support or Oppose in addition to the random discussion of sources and such.

Fairchild PT-19 → Fairchild PT-19 Cornell – Traditionally, the name "Cornell" has been reserved for the Royal Canadian Air Force operated examples and not applied to those used by the United States Army Air Force. However, multiple sources [1] [2] [3] state that the official nickname for the airplane was "Cornell". The September 1944 parts catalog for the airplane includes the name "Cornell" under the heading "British Model", but this is common to manuals for other aircraft (e.g. B-25) that also list their American official nickname (e.g. Mitchell) under the same heading. [4] [5] [6] According to WP:AIR/NC the standard format is Manufacturer-Designation-Name. [a]

The name "Kaydet" was bestowed in 1941 when the government was promoting the use of "popular" names instead of the actual type numbers for general public reference to military aircraft. This was to avoid giving away the actual development status, as B-17F or B-17G. This system did not catch on very well with the public and of course it didn’t go over at all with the service personnel to whom the minor distinctions were important. Little use of the name was made by the postwar civil owners of surplus "Kaydets", who preferred to call their planes "Stearmans" (even though they were actually Boeings) or to use the actual military designation. In recent years, however, the use of "Kaydet" as a general reference to Stearman Models 70-76 has been on the increase and is so used in this text.

The parts manual for the PT1-19 does not use the construction "PT-19 Cornell", ditto items 5 and 6.

I presume the Newspaper is just repeating the official press release.
— User:GraemeLeggett
The onus is to show that phrase "PT-19 Cornell" was used.
— User:GraemeLeggett
We should not be creating new designations that were not officially used.
