[edit] Flight Numbers
This flight had no flight number, or is it that one isn't available? -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 20:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
So far as I can tell, flight numbers started to be commonly used in the 80's, so almost all previous accidents have no flight number. I am told the current title is standard format for crashes with no flight number, but I must say it seems stupidly long. Blood red sandman 21:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
No, it's an alright name, I was just wondering because it would seem easier. I thought flight numbers were already common by the late 70s, that is. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 22:15, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Flight numbers were indeed in common use much earlier. Gnmtndogs (talk) 04:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
