AV-8B 164560

[Glenn E. Chatfield]

I don't know how many other dossiers you have fixed up like this, but I found this one while researching the history of this aircraft.

There are three profiles on the exact same bird. The tail number shown, different for each one, doesn't change the plane. The tail/nose letter-number combination changes with squadron changes. e.g. while with VMA-231 the first time it carried CG-30, then with VMA-542 it was WH-00; I know it changed codes at least two other times while operating deployed to the Mid-East, but I haven't got them yet -- still researching.

To make separate profiles for every time the code changes with squadron changes is overkill. USAF aircraft change squadrons and end up with different letters on the tail, and yet they have only one profile. Let's do the same with Navy and Marines.
