All,
Apologies if this is posted somewhere already: can someone please explain the situation with French Air Force codes vs. registrations?
For example, the A400M currently supporting the Patrouille de France wears a visible mark of "F-RBAH", however per this database and scramble.nl, the A/C serial (used in the upload registration field) is "0031", whereas the F-number is the "Code", and is not displayed in the Jetphotos data. What is the reasoning behind using the serial for identification of the aircraft? Is the civilian-style code not a unique-to-aircraft registration?
Thanks!
