Tail Codes der US Airforce

Die Tail Codes wurden erstmals während des Vietnam Krieges 1967 eingeführt. Sie sollten die schnelle Erkennung, der damals in grosser Anzahl und mit neuer Tarnung eingesetzten Flugzeuge, für Bodenpersonal und Piloten erleichtern. Das erste Geschwader die diese Codes erhielten, war das 8th Figther Wing in Ubon RTAFB in Thailand (Januar 67). Ihre F-4 Phantoms wurden mit der Kennung "FG" versehen. Die meisten heutigen Tail Codes beziehen sich auf den Ort oder Staat der Stationierung des Flugzeuges. Der Code orientiert sich am am Namen der Airbase oder des Staates.
