That's interesting. I have a couple of books on the development of fighters and they never mention that. Can you show me which planes got which numbers?
YF-110 was the MiG-21 and the YF-113 was the MiG-23

Military spending went from a 'global deterrent' to a 'global pain in the ass' overnight, everything that was deemed unnecessary was cut, immediately and in some cases without informing people.

I think I saw a show on the 71 on the History channel that it cost $1,000,000+ per flight not counting the engine replacement every three or four flight's or so.

Well, except for the part where the F-110 designation was applied to the Air Force version of the F-4H3 (later F-4C) Phantom II, which the AF intended to nickname Spectre.

Talk about disinformation its used for both! :damn:

Well YF-110 is used for the MiG-21 while F-110A is used for the F-4. :huh:

AND there's no direct evidence that either of them was ever actually an official designator.
