TR1[edit]

Where is the TR1 in the list? I talked to the pilot of one which was at the Bournemouth airshow (UK) many years ago. It was (then) a brand new airframe ... a modernised U2 with a very long cylindrical nose section (15 to 20 ft) ... presumably Tactical Reconnaissance rather than the Strategic Reconnaissance of the SR71 ?? 86.136.156.41 (talk) 14:38, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The TR-1 (Tri-Service designations have a hyphen) is the only designation in the "R for Reconnaissance" sequence. Therefore, it is listed as "R-1" without the "T for Tactical" mission modifier (which itself is unique, as T is usually for aircraft modified as trainers). Mission modifiers and status prefixes are omitted from this list for consistency, except for cases where there are articles covering those specific variants. - ZLEA _T\^C 17:18, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou ... I should have read the article more carefully! 86.136.156.41 (talk) 11:00, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

F-15J/DJ[edit]

Should the Mitsubishi F-15J/DJ be added? Although it's technically a variant produced bu Mitsubishi. It got it's own article, so perhaps it's different enough to warrant including? That's why I'm asking if the F-15J should be included. BeeboMan (talk) 19:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Mitsubishi-built variants do not technically have Tri-Service designations, though their designations are clearly based on that of their US-built counterparts. However, the first two blocks of McDonnald Douglas production, the F-15J-24-MC and F-15J-25-MC, were given full Tri-Service designations, so the F-15J could probably be added to this list. The F-15DJ, on the other hand, should probably be left out. - ZLEA _T\^C 21:13, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CF-5 inclusion.[edit]

Under the Northrop F-5, should the Canadian CF-5 Licensed-built verison be included? Thank you for responding. BeeboMan (talk) 14:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think so. CF-5 is not a Tri-Service designation, nor is it even an official RCAF designation. The aircraft’s official designation, CF-116, is part of the 1968 unified Canadian Armed Forces designation, while CF-5 is an unofficial popular name for the aircraft. - ZLEA _T\^C 15:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thank you for replying! BeeboMan (talk) 17:05, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
