What’s in an N-Number?

[cessna170bdriver]

one of the more interesting call signs here in Canada was a152 in Kamloops I think, CFUFU I know that it's not a call sign that I would request unless I was mad at everybody

Bill CFZXO 170-B

One of the Association's past presidents' registration was C-GRLI. I'm not sure I could let that one stand.

John, thanks for finding that picture. Seems the owner repainted the letters in RED since I remember seeing them in black.

George I'd switched gears to Cubs and when your looking at a field full of them a 170, even yours, does not stand out.

Anyway it was a one day whirl wind tour by car from Tehachapi to Lompac where we stayed about 2 hours then a drive down the cost to Burbank to our hotel. We had lots to see and very little time. We had an early morning flight home the next day. You may not even have been at Lompac during the time Teresa and I were there.

Bruce,
After reading about your trip to Lompoc, I'm curious about what happened to the Cub with the N5EX registration. I have a friend up at the airport with a "Glasstar" with that registration. The "5" is so stylized it looks like an "S'.

[blueldr]

Now I realy am confused. I just checked the FAA data base and that N5EX is still listed to that Cub. My buddy has had it on his Glasstar for over a year since it was painted.

Oops! Correction! I just found that Kens registration is N15EX. My goof. Sorry about that!

For anyone interested, the following are still avialable as of today:

105EX 115EX 165EX 195EX 205EX 215EX 235EX 345EX 375EX 385EX
395EX 415EX 425EX 435EX 445EX 455EX 465EX 475EX 485EX 495EX
515EX 525EX 535EX 545EX 565EX 575EX 585EX 595EX 605EX 615EX
625EX 635EX 645EX 655EX 665EX 675EX 685EX 705EX 715EX 725EX
745EX 755EX 775EX 785EX 795EX 855EX 85EX 865EX 875EX 885EX
895EX 905EX 915EX 925EX 935EX 945EX 955EX 965EX 975EX 985EX
995EX

Jack Roush bought a number from a local pilot for a college and flight school instruction for his son. Jack wanted the number due to JR in the #.

For anyone interested, the following are still avialable as of today:...

I notice N695EX is taken!

[Bruce Fenstermacher]

As well as N05EX. Actually I seem to remember the N has to be preceded by a number but not zero which eliminates both NO5EX and N05EX

Actually, the letter "O" (as well as "I") cant appear anywhere in an US aircraft registration mark. A good thing I guess... that's not something one would want to advertise.

PS: I wonder if the pilot of Cessna Citation N38DD is female?

[GAHorn]

There's a Navion at a nearby airport for sale that has N14SX (His wife says it stands for No One For Sex.)

There's a 182 in AUS with N69BJ.

I wonder who has Number One For Sex, YES!

That N-number definitely needs a sexier airplane!

Like this one:

N145EX is deregistered from a QUICKIE!

Shouldn't this airplane's registration end with a question mark?

Bill, the owner of that Navion was also the manager of the Lampassas, TX airport until his death a couple years ago. He was also active in the Navion club and was held to be somewhat of an "expert" on Navions. We visited a few times over the years when I'd stop in for cheap gas there (LZZ). I understand his wife wants to sell it. It's still sitting just like pictured, for the last 2 or 3 years.

Back when I was learning to fly, when I got ready to do some radio work and fly into controlled apts (the 2 C-140's didn't have working radios) the C-150 we used had N150RA as its registration #. I thought that kind of keen at the time. Not as unique as the ones mentioned above, but some controllers would sometimes ask a second time for the number. The ones around Fort Worth didn't because the plane was used for so much training they were used to its N#.

I have one friend who when we were young fancied himself a Hydroplane Boat Racer. He, much to the chagrin of the public address announcers around the Boat racing circuit, named his boat Hove Hearted.

[GAHorn]

The best boat-names I've ever noticed were a 25' Catalina on Lake Travis, which had a young man at the helm and a deck full of Univ. of TX lasses wearing nothing but flip-flops, ....The boat's stern said "Sinbad the Sailor" .....and then there is also a 31' Pearson, "Pilot Error".
