N numbers
 
I have had well over a dozen N numbers and flown over a hundred airplanes with different N numbers. I really liked the twin Beech number N711 which I flew for someone else. I have N6711 on my RV6A and haven?t had any issues with ATC. Just find one you like and figure out how to use it.

Fueling as N1...

And when Continental was severely back-ordered replacing thousands of cylinders, at least one person I know managed to get Chevron to instead help them buy a new airplane (which was used, but never filled with contaminated fuel).

That is reason enough to me, to take the extra 5 seconds to type out any N number in full....

Regarding uniqueness, -Romeo Victor is far from unique. I chose it so I'd get to sound like a cool RV pilot ;)

Just curious... If it's that much of an effort, can't you change it? I know registrations can be changed in Canada...

Being the vain sum-Of-biscuit I'm, went with one number (7 for RV-7) and my initials.... That is unique to me. I think you confuse unique with most used. Combinations of numbers or numbers and letters are huge and each one is unique. The question is are they interesting or catchy.
