Quite a few random and nonsensical changes were made. Reverted to previous version. -- Uhlek 05:08, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Agreed with uhlek, the previous version was not appropriate. Joshbaumgartner 06:05, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)
How does the F/A 18 fit into this? Multiple missions? David.Monniaux 19:19, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Folks, does anyone with a knowledge of the subject have a feeling about the proposal to merge this article with 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system. My feeling is not to do so as the other article seems to stand on its own, but I'm not an expert in the field. Kcordina 13:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
The part where the article claims the designation F-117 is incorrect, claiming the Nighthawk has no air-to-air capability, is in fact incorrect. The F-117's configuration allows for it to carry two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, allowing it to combat enemy aircraft. Admittedly, this does prevent it from carrying any other ordinance, but it is possible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.50.151.8 ( talk • contribs) 15:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC).
The letter G in the service designation has, in the past also denoted Carrier aircraft. In Essence, an aircraft that carried another aircraft. The sole example is the GRB-36 FICON [1] which carried a RF-84 in the late 1950's. Its use was limited and was in service for only a couple of years.

Does anyone know:
a) Why the switch was made from the old P (Pursuit) designations (e.g. P-47) to F (e.g. F-86). Was it just the usual passion for renaming things to show that management is doing something, or was there another reason?
b) At what point was that, i.e. what were the last P- and the first F-?
c) What's going to happen when current the F-numbers catch up to where the P-numbers left off?

The current page name is correct for now but may be outdated if the DoD adopts a new naming system. This designation system does have a name so I think we should use it.
The "United States military aircraft designation systems" page can remain as the parent article and will link this article as the current system. If a new system ever comes around, this article will be bumped to being a historical system with the other older systems on the parent article and a new article will be made for whatever that new replacement system is.
