American warplane designations
I need to inform a lot of your writers that these are the correct designations for American warplanes:
B - 52, F - 86, P - 47, B - 17, C - 130, KC - 135, P - 3, SR - 71, F - 15, etc.
The same applies to most civilian aircraft, such as the DC - 10, MD - 11, and L - 1011.
Exception: Boeing 737, Boeing 747, Boeing 767, etc.
The hyphen is just as much a part of their designations as any of the other letters and numbers.
People of other nationalities, and especially the British, need to get this through their skulls.
