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)

[edit] Merge?

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)

Since there have been no comments, I have removed the merge tags and cross-linked the two articles so they coexist together. Kcordina 16:19, 13 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).

Be bold and update it, then. Actually, you can't, since I've just done it for you. :-P --Scott Wilson 23:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] G Suffix designation

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.
