MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 With the impending release of Mirage 2000 drawing ever closer, I thought I might get into skinning. I had an idea of a Canadian Forces Mirage, so I'd like to know how the RCAF designation works. Specifically, the numerical designation. I've gathered that CF- is for fighter, CT- is for trainer, and CH- is for rotorcraft, but how exactly does the numbering work? How did the CF-188A get designated as -188, for example?

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Just curious. Why a Canadian Mirage 2000? Canadian paintjobs are simple, so it may be a good starting point, for me. I figured I'd do something different, as well. I think this is what you want: RCAF Designations Explained This does help, thanks. Seems like the numerical designation is applied almost at random.

Sabre-TLA Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 This:Because all aircraft need to have three numbers following the initial two letters, the manufacturer’s numerical designation is also often “Canadianized”. So Boeing’s C-17 Globemaster III becomes a CC-177 Globemaster III when Canada takes delivery of its aircraft. Likewise, an F-18 Hornet becomes a CF-188 Hornet (yes, it really is a CF-188, although you will often see CF-18 in common usage). Not sure why our DND decided it needed 3 numbers though. :huh: MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 It would probably be CF-20000A.... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
