How do they assign tail numbers? Too bad it's not sequentially starting at #1. Then we'd have some REAL capability.
Down near the bottom of the article: "The next aircraft, tail number 4191--which is the last jet built under a 60-aircraft, multi-year purchase--is set to be formally handed over to the USAF on 15 March."
60 aircraft...what a crying shame.
