Far, far away, in a Midwestern town in late winter, a wonderful event was happening in a small factory. As the cold wind blew across the flat, open land, a brand-new airplane named Tango was being fitted with its identification number plate. This was a big event for the little airplane because it was the final step before it was allowed to fly. This particular plane's identification number, or ID for short, was 1228, its date of manufacture. The little plane was checked, inspected, and labeled as Airworthy. He was ready to take to the skies.
