Flight number
Flight number should be in the title for uniqueness. Never know how many airplanes they can fit down the back of the sofa. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd rather save the number for updates, but not use it for the first article since it assumes people know the flight. Perhaps move it to Air France jet with 231 on board goes missing? Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah! I knew I'd seen 231 somewhere: here's one that uses that figure. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:51, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
