This is far from a serious topic, and meant only for some light-hearted discussion....
Have you ever noticed the varied placement of the "-" that people use when referring to any particular model (i.e.; S-2C vs S2-C)? I'd say there's almost a 50/50 of seeing the dash placement at any time.
Any official documentation I have seen, such as my Christen Industries, Pitts Aerobatics, & Aviat manuals, have the dash after the "S" and before the numerical digit, such as "S-2B". I've always believed this to be the proper spot. Is there actually any argument or support for placing the dash after the numerical digit? I've even seen airplanes with decals that have the dash in the assumed wrong spot after the numerical digit and just chalked it up to somebody with a typo when creating the decal or dyslexia.
