The two letter tail code may not be accurate to the fighter wing or role of the aircraft, I mainly added this to let others know in the community what tail codes are.
This website gives you an idea of what existing tail codes there are and their respective fighter wings, as well as what planes they flew.

Feedback and suggestions are always appreciated!
