Theory about Nacht plane

[The Infected Hunter]

The serial number, printed on the tail of the plane, reads “194501”. There are a couple things we can determine from this, one is that the plane was manufactured in 1941, as the entire serial number would read 41-94501”. And two, is that they would identify themselves over the radio as “Yankee-501”, we can determine this because of the large “Y” painted on the side of the plane, and the last three numbers of the serial number.

 

My theory is that Treyarch intended this to be an easter egg where the radio callsign (Yankee-501), is read as “Yankee SOL”, using L33T speak, or “Yankee sh*t out of luck”. Referencing the Americans, or Yankees, on board, being shit out of luck, they crash and subsequently all die on this night. Speaking of night, I assume that “NI7E” is simply supposed to be read as “night”, in L33T speak.
