Looking better at the photo's I took at Wittmund the 3rd of mai I see the Austrian Eurofighters all have a small number on the tail: AS002 (7L-WB), AS004 (7L-WD), GS003 (7L-WJ), GS024 (7L-WG) and GS0027 (7L-WH). Does anyone know the meaning of those numbers? (serialnumber, constructionnumber, IRAN-inspectionnumbers) I'm curious.

Re: Tailnumbers on Eufi's Austrian Air Force
Have you tried our Austrian database yet? That would answer your question rightaway.
-> link to the Austrian AF db and search for EF2000.

AFAIK the Eurofighters have a world-wide sequence number which would be a c/n to me. GS024 is 124 for instance.
AS002 is a type-version and sequence number (the second Austrian single seat). GS024 was the 24th single seat built for Germany.

You are right, my bad

Re: Tailnumbers on Eufi's Austrian Air Force
Agree with Stefan indeed. Unfortunately, the 'real' construction number is only known for just a few of the Eufi's (or should we call these Öfi's?). Pitty they didn't put those numbers in the tail... but interesting to see they put something on there at least.
