 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Thanks guys, I thought that it meant the aircraft was payed for eg. in this case; 2000? Whether it is before or after building I don't know.viper28 wrote:Some great shots
In some picture's i see a eagle with 00 in the tail code. Does this mean the plane is build is the year 2000 ?
If so i did not know there were eagle's of that young age.
Greetings Patrick.
Correct. The Fiscal Year denotes the US budget year in which funds have been made available for that particular aircraft. (Note that the US fiscal year starts October 1st of the previous year: as such, we're already in US FY10!)Macc wrote:I thought that it meant the aircraft was payed for eg. in this case; 2000
So just because the budget was made available in that year does not have to mean that the plane was build in the same year ?pjotrtje wrote:Correct.
