Data correction to database

[Tommaso Dal Maso]

Hello, looking at photos I noticed this Y-20 with label "Chile - Air Force" which is clearly misleading and result of similarities between China-Chile.
Link to photo: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10683861
Additionally this photo is a first registration that never received the badge due to double regs in db: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10645225
Thank you!

Has been changed.

May I kindly ask for evidence as to why you think it is 72 now - and the 72 isn't just painted but indeed its real mil reg?

I rather see it as 28 still if this was its real last mil reg.

Hi, thank you for looking into it.
28 has never been it's serial, rather a code added later by the museum. It is normal for museum crew to change the numbers and liveries in Bulgaria. Scramble reports it as 72 here: https://www.scramble.nl/database/military/bg#results
While 28 is only listed as "photoproof" here: https://www.scramble.nl/database/military/bg#results
As they are probably also confused about why new registrations just appear out of the blue. I already provided this information when the photo was submitted, as you submit by actual registration and not painted ones...
Also here, when looking for wrecks and preserved planes, it is logged as 72: https://www.spottingmode.com/wro/bulgaria/planes/
It's registration is indeed 72, and as far as I can see, it is the first photo of this aircraft on DB (Even if searching for 2.
Thank you
