The /uj for anyone who isn’t autistic enough:
C - cargo
KC - tanker
A - attack/attacker
F - Fighter
F/A - fighter/attacker
B - bomber
T - trainer
X - experimental
E - Electronic warfare (AWACS, etc)
P - ??? (Maritime reconnaissance I believe is the technical role)
U/SR - ??? (High altitude long range Recon)
Numbers are sequential except for a fighter (and bomber?) reset that happened early Cold War when we were well over 100 when fighters went out of date after like a month. F-117 and the two F/A-18s is an outlier due to congressional shenanigans
P was for Pursuit as I understand it. Maybe not 100% accurate but that's what I was told by my grandfather, and his uncle was a major aircraft manufacturer (albeit in Britain).
Happy to keep an open mind but as far as I'm aware that has never been the designator, and as none of the P designated aircraft remain in service I don't believe they would or do retroactively change designations. Your comment "...probably stands for patrol or something" does not lead me to believe there is any basis in this, and after a brief search, leads me to understand it has always (and is still listed, though re-designated to F) meant Pursuit, for the Pursuit/Interceptor class that became Fighter/Multirole Fighter.
If you can provide anything other than what appears to be an incorrect assumption, I'm quite interested in aviation history due to my family connections.
It took my 4 seconds of googling to see that it stands for patrol, in the navy. I would've been happy to clarify if you had just written a nice little question but instead you write a whole ass passive agressive essay for no reason.
>Your comment "...probably stands for patrol or something" does not lead me to believe there is any basis in this
Well obviously??? Of course it's a guess, if i had done any research at that point i wouldn't have said probably now would i.
Edit: I would also like to point out that that's not the full quote. I said "if it's even still in use probably stands for patrol or something" which pretty clearly implies that i didn't think any new planes get a P designation, which they don't in the air force.
Also:
Q - drone (as in the MQ-9)
R - reconnaissance
U - utility (typically seen for helicopters: UH-60)
X - experimental (e.g. X-29)
Y - prototypes (e.g. YF-16, YF-23)
U is for utillity
The u1 and u3 were frankly bad planes compared to others so it made the name u2 seem like it would be a simularly bad
SR was originaly RS but was fliped when announced It means Recon Stratigic
But Stratigic Recon sounds better soo it was fliped by the president
Def can pull that one off. I’ve done it before, and before, and before, and before, and I can do it again. Though I do question what the internet has done to me. When I see someone complaining about their cat girl gf, I don’t think about a girlfriend with a lot of cats. I think of the one he describes that pisses on the carpet when agitated. But, like, I’m into a lot of weird shit, but idk about that one, cap’.
[The context](https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/p9i2i4/catgirl_gf_is_out_of_control/) of the thread we’re discussing is a dude talking about about his “cat girl gf” and how she keeps pissing on the floor when they fight etc.
F1 (mirage) with M1299(howitzer)
IDK the F1 is whatever excuse some anime comes up with, shes really a weevil that like 1 year a 1000 years for it or yeah...
Is that the Pershing down in Mobile, Alabama right by the USS Alabama? If I remember right there’s an A-10 right at the entrance. I guess Battleship park gets naughty after dark.
WHAT DOES THE A STAND FOR AND WHY IS IT ONLY 10??????????
Prolly A minooooor!
NCD stands with Kendrick Lamar in up coming rap war
upcoming, i thought kendrick nuked drake when he took over Toronto?!
No one has been killed, so i dont see it as a war, its more of a coup d'état
Drake should have tried saying no like that Bolivian president.
That guy is the biggest chad, literally pulled the headmaster/guilty schoolkids bit and sent them to detention to think about what they've done.
I wonder how well that move would have worked if they hadn't planned it all ahead of time.
Because the girl he cheated with is a 10!
So she's a 3628800?
Dayum.
Androgynous
That damn androgynous violin child
Titus Androgynous soundtrack starts blaring
It’s A 10 Out of 10
Attack, I think. Same for the A-4 and other related. US R&D throws a dart at a number line to determine the number, don’t bother thinking about it.

P for Patrol and SR for Surface Reconnaissance would be the most logical IMO, for U I dont know what would sound good
It was utillity Check out the u1 and u3 It made the u2 the type of name someone would over look
P was for Pursuit as I understand it. Maybe not 100% accurate but that's what I was told by my grandfather, and his uncle was a major aircraft manufacturer (albeit in Britain).
It did stand for pursuit but i think it only did so during ww2 and now if it's even still in use probably stands for patrol or something
They dropped it in favour of the F designation I believe.
As a designation for fighters yes. I'm pretty sure it stands for patrol now

Also worth mentioning that AC is Attack Cargo.
AC-130 my beloved
*AC-47
I can't wait to see AC-5s and AC-17s dumping enough Rapid Dragon pallets to make a guided missile cruiser blush.
Just two each. LRASM is a large missile
Attack Cargo sounds like when you get stuck on an old Lucas Arts game and just randomly are clicking everything.

As a kid mostly into WW2 planes I thought P stood for propeller-driven planes and F stood for fire-driven planes.
In the WW2 era, P stood for Pursuit, as in the P-51 (redesignated F-51 post-war).
Yes because according to the very credible bomber mafia the only thing fighters were good for was chasing bombers.
P - pursuit/interceptors
M = ??? (Literally anything can be an M)
Usually not aircraft, unless it’s in front of something, like the MQ-9 reaper drone
Multi-mission Because I read that page on Wikipedia in lieu of touching grass
I cant tell if this is a wooosh comment or if youre doing this on purpose for the sake of irony
Both tbh
The beauty of being in an autistic subreddit is that you get appreciated and upvoted for both
It's how far the kid has come in the alphabet (special needs)
Because she's A-10 out of 10
The A stands for Autistic aand its 10 becouse thats how long ago the M26 cheated
A rank in mission results of AC.
Once I saw a title that said My (M24) catgirl gf (F22) is out of control. Maybe I still habe a screenshot, idk.
Yeah I cant think how a Remington 700 can stop an F22
Lucky shot on the pilot I guess
Golden BB
What is this, Battlefield 2?
*obligatory how a parachuting American WW2 airman supposedly take down a zero fighter with his 1911 mid-ait*
I mean the M24 Chaffee also exists. I think 75mm HE will rip right through an F-22 but aiming will be difficult.
> aiming will be difficult. That's why the Chaffee has a good ol' .50 on top!
A Remington can't but a Chaffee probably could.
I can make her worse

You didn't have to tell us this big dog

> My (M24) catgirl gf (F22) is out of contro https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/p9i2i4/catgirl_gf_is_out_of_control/ ?
Yea exactly. But I think I saw the post in r/relatinship_advice
Yeah, it was originally there and then turned into a copypasta
So by this logic the F35 is not 17 anymore? Are we free to go?
They spend most of their time in countries where that's legal anyway so it's ok
F1 (mirage) with M1299(howitzer) IDK the F1 is whatever excuse some anime comes up with, shes really a weevil that like 1 year a 1000 years for it or yeah...
Had no idea Dr Disrespect was only 26.
F-22 seems like the stabby type of yandere, that tank is playing a dangerous game.
Oh come on, the fighter that has 1 confirmed kill, a slowly drifting balloon, so I don't see how it can be in any kind of d
The raptor got ‘em.
I don't understand why anyone would want to cheat on F-22. Unless it's with Vark. Then I understand but it's still wrong.
No, F22 thinks she is the shit but she never did anything for real. The M26 has been through hell and came back
So, does that mean the F22 is open? Happy ncd noises
She is out of our league, unless you are a high-altitude balloon
You never know until you try Do it.
Bayerische Flugzeugwerke M26 💀
A-10?! You sick pervshing.
This is funny shit ngl
Would’ve been better if the second plane was an F23
F22 wanted to save herself for world war. Meanwhile the warthog might be ugly but is willing to give him that BRRT-tuah.
I mean, they have a smaller age gap so that's probably where he gets the extra understanding from, feels like they all need to sort out some issues.
Is that the Pershing down in Mobile, Alabama right by the USS Alabama? If I remember right there’s an A-10 right at the entrance. I guess Battleship park gets naughty after dark.
If you F22 are cheating on your bf M26 with A10 you belong in jail
Best laugh of the week for me. I love NCD brainrot, it's my type of humor.
