Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 4:43 am Post subject: Tail Numbers

As i understand it the chinese use one scheme for training aircraft and another for tactical. For the 5 digit scheme the first 2  digits plus the 4th define the regiment/squadron while the 3rd and 5th numbers are unique to the aircraft. Seems that the 3rd digit may be another unit ID. Any way, the Nose number is derived from the 3rd and last number. hus mya A/C tail # is 51885 and the buzz # is 85. The '85' comes not from the last 2 numbers as as mentioned above. Go figure your number.



There were 6 CJ training regiments at one time, this dropped to 4 and now 2 plus a "special training" regiment with it's own number. It's been a few years since I surfed their current inventory. What I have wondered is if some CJ's were issued to tactical squadrons as "hacks"??
