Which means that the USAF Serial No. is 50-33142. As I understand
it, that by no means implies that the USAF acquired 33142 A/C that
year. It's simply the number assigned this A/C.

I for one find this system mildly confusing - maybe I'm just mildly
confused.


It could be - as you say - 50-33412, it's unlikely to be 40-xxxx, but the 0
could also be an O (oscar), meaning the aircraft is obsolete, but still on
the register.
