Vandenberg Shuttle flights were evidently also called STS-1V, STS-2V,
etc.


I thought that the numbering scheme for VAFB flights was that they had
were (FY)2-(Letter). So the first flight scheduled was STS-62A, second
would have been STS-62B, and the next years flights were going to be
STS-72A, STS-72B, etc.

I don't think there ever was a x3 or a x4 envisioned.
