Or, sometimes the serial number seems real, but is inappropriate, because, say, the programmers went to an air base or airport to record engine noises for sound effects, and to write down a real tail code from a real trainer or transport, then painted that real tail code on a virtual fighter. Thus, maybe in the virtual phantasy in the game, such as Battlefield 2, a fighter is #123 with tail code ABC (representing the 456th squadron), but in the real world, #123 isn't a fighter, and the 456th isn't a fighter squadron. FYI, some weeks ago, I did a wee research on the three serial-numbered USAF F-104s seen in ST:TOS, season 1, ep 19. AFAIK, sometimes the serial number is fake, because the programmers or graphickers randomly chose it. There are aviation geeks out there (yeah, right, just the both of us) who gawk at the bort/bureau/serial number on a virtual aircraft in a game or movie, and wonder whether that serial number is real, ie, a real aircraft with that serial number exists out here, in the real world?
