The "Y" in YC-121F indicates a prototype aircraft. Once it is accepted by the Air Force, the "Y" is dropped. Please note, John: Your reply was addressed to: The Airline List; David MR. In other words, I received two copies of it, just like you are receiving two copies of this reply. Please, John and others, be considerate and delete any address that doesn't say "the airline list" so that people don't receive 2 copies of your e-mail.
