I am new to flight tracking and have a basic question: How/where do the names for “operating as” come from?
Example: “VGX8” and “Virgin Galactic 8” for this flight
From FlightAware screen:
N348MS
Operating as Virgin Galactic 8
ALSO, from the flight log there is flights 5, 7 and 8 so no Virgin Galactic 6 …
so trying to figure out who is labeling the flights and how/why flights might not be numbered in order
Thanks for the information!!!
