What formula(s) would I use to populate a cell depending on the info of an adjacent cell?

So I have an excel logbook and I want to make it so that when I add a tail number, it auto populates the plane type. is there a way I can do that? I was thinking an IF formula? but I am not proficient at excel at all and I am not exactly sure what to search for so I can figure this out. attached is a picture. If I type in C472, I want B472 to automatically fill in the type of plane. it seems I can make a separate sheet with the tail numbers and have it auto populate that info?

I have 5 different types of planes and each type has at least 3 tail numbers. so its like a mini matrix table and idk what to do.

thank you in advance!!
