The most recent one to turn up is more of a Russo’s specific easter egg as opposed to a Marvel one, but it’s still worth noting. Reddit user Doomhelt noticed that anytime there is a helicopter in a Russo Marvel film, they all have the same tail number. In Captain America: Winter Soldier there is a News Chopper flying above with the tail number of N78298. Later Nick Fury’s Chopper, which is a different model, also contains the same tail number.
It pops up again in Captain America: Civil War. Tony Stark is walking towards his decked out Chopper as he’s leaving the Raft prison. You can clearly see the tail number and it’s exactly the same. Odds are if there is a Chopper in Avengers: Infinity War, it will have the same number. As to what it means, there’s no information on that yet, but hopefully, the Russo’s let everyone in on it at some point.
You can view the pictures in the gallery, and if you have any idea of what it might mean make sure to give your take in the comments.
