Identifying the aircraft itself in the case of pieces washing ashore after a crash or misadventure. 2. Would assist in reconstructing a wreckage if the numbers and letters corresponded to certain areas of the fuselage.
I got no acknowledgement or reply.....neither did I expect any , but it seems ridiculous that they find a piece of wreckage and have to speculate what part of which plane it might be. The solution doesn't seem so difficult to me. Maybe it's a simplistic view but I thought I would put it out there for discussion. Any thoughts Copperites?

What about spraying each plane with data dots when it is painted......you would be able to identify the outer skin via the micro security id on the plane.
