  29. Letter “F” = Fighter “B” = Bomber “A” = Attack “P” = Patrol “S” = ASW “K” = Tanker “H” = Helo “E” = Electronic Number Signifies the sequential development of the aircraft (usually) For example – F-14’s were developed before F-22’s Gaps in numbering can signify models that never “got off the drawing board.” Aircraft Designations

  30. Examples VP-40 HSL-44 VAQ-132 VFA-103 VAW-112 VMAQ-2 HMH-366 Squadrons First Letter “V” = Fixed Wing “H” = Rotary Wing Second / Third Letter “F” – Fighter “A” = Attack “P” = Patrol “S” = ASW “C” = Cargo / Logistics “Q” = Electronic Warfare “AW” = Early Warning “L” = Light “H” = Heavy Squadron Designations
