numbers on wing[edit]

supposedly this longsword has the number 7-89 on it somewhere, just like the longsword of the storm. i know there are other numbers on the longswords but im curious as to why they both have the # 7-89. is there meaning to this or is it coincidence? the reach longsword looks like a new game model so i dont think its a coincidence--Ender the Xenocide 18:03, 30 November 2010 (EST)

Clearly "7-89" isn't the craft's registration. My guess is that 7-89 refers to its wing number within a numbered air force. Regardless, "7-89" would not be the registration of three Longswords in 2552 (of which two being assigned to the Home Fleet).-- Forerunner 11:37, 1 December 2010 (EST)
I would assume the decal was simply recycled from Halo 3. The two Longswords in Halo 3 had the same model, and thus the same 7-89 decal, probably because no one would ever see the decals in-game other than theater mode. Guess no one bothered to change it in Reach. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 12:51, 1 December 2010 (EST)
Nah. It's not recycled. If it was, the wreckage would look just like the the Ark crash site. Furthermore, there are other labels on it that aren't present in Halo 3.-- Forerunner 13:01, 1 December 2010 (EST)
Recycled models can be modified, you know...- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 14:03, 1 December 2010 (EST)
The sign was changed, too.-- Forerunner 14:20, 1 December 2010 (EST)
