E-6b from 2018

Post by raptor76 » Sat Apr 18, 2020 9:34 am

I have just found out the tail code for the E-6b in 2018 can someone tell or show me via a photo where I can find the tail code on the aircraft because when i took a photo of it I couldn't find it?

It's a Bureau Number on US Navy aircraft.

This image shows one quite clearly below the horizontal stabiliser: https://www.flickr.com/photos/redripper ... /sizes/5k/

If the aircraft in question is 163918 the E-6B doesn't wear a tailcode like other US Navy types, simply the "last three" of its serial on the nose gear door.

You can see the last three digits on the front nose gear door here:

If you zoom in on Lee's photo then you can see the full serial, it's in between the tail-plane and back door but much lower down - just forward of the panel underneath the leading edge of the tail-plane.
