Red Six (T-65B X-wing starfighter) (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

Red Six is the call sign of a pilot. It is not the starfighter assigned to that call sign. If Porkins had scrambled into his fighter (which the mechanic thinks of as Red Six in her point of view) and found a critical error during pre-flight check, and then been assigned to another fighter, his call sign would not change with the physical fighter he was piloting. The same goes for every other ship the mechanic "names" after their currently assigned pilot call sign. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 00:52, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Comments

  • Throughout the story she refers to the pilots and their ships interchangeably. It doesn't change the fact of what I stated above. That's just an abbreviated way of saying "Red Six was piloting one of the ships tended by his crew." - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 01:29, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
    • I disagree. After all, we have Gold One, Blue One and Red Five, why is this any different? -ThrawnChiss7 (talk) 01:33, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
      • Thank you for that example that proves my point. None of those pages should exist. The opening sentence for Red Five (T-65B X-wing starfighter) states: During the Galactic Civil War, several X-wing starfighters used by Rebel pilots bore the name Red Five. This proves my point. The ship isn't named "Red Five," it is simply whatever particular ship the pilot assigned the call sign is using at the time. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 01:42, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
        • Red Five is different, because it is stated in Ultimate Star Wars that Luke's Red Five callsign became synonymous with the ship he used. This is proven by The Rise of Skywalker in which Finn says 'There. Look. Red Five is in the air. Rey's alive.' Lewisr (talk) 01:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
        • Well, Grounded also gives us this quote "Red Leader. Flying Red One ..." This cleary shows that Red One (T-65B X-wing starfighter) is separate from Red Leader. -ThrawnChiss7 (talk) 01:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
