I chose to reserve 214TL for my tail number. My Papa passed away on February 14 which is the 214 part. He built a Pietenpol Aircamper and the tail number was 58TL so I took the TL from his plane. He was the most important man in my life and he taught me how to fly. Every time I make a radio call it will be in remembrance of him.

Default N523CC - Reserved

While on Active Duty in the U.S. Air Force I had the privilege to serve as the Maintenance Chief for the 523rd Fighter Squadron Crusaders flying and fixing F-16s at Cannon AFB, NM. My radio call sign was Crusader Chief. CC also happens to be the Fin Flash on the Vertical Stab of aircraft stationed at Cannon. So there you have it - 523CC.

18XP Because it rolls off the tongue easily unlike former RV 254HL . Got quite a few "say agains" from that one.

About 7.5 years ago, met the best lady a guy could ask for. Learned to work the Garmin, read a sectional, and is bummed when she can't help with annual and condition inspections. Married her on the beach on Maui on May 6, 2004. Hence the N# of our RV was changed to 506MM (506 <anniversary> MM <Mark & Melissa>) shortly after we got it.
Sappy? Yep, but well worth it!

Better make that Melissa & Mark, as it doesn't hurt to give her top billing. I met a similar lady (Karen) in December '01 and married her Sept. 4, 2004, thus N904KM resesrved.

Talking My N # choice

What I came up with was not my first (or second, or third, etc.,) choice but still worked for me - N397V

39 for my birth year - 1939
7 for - hey, it's an RV-7
V-my grandfather's middle name was Victor and I always liked that name and its positive meaning, also - hey, it's an RV

So, RV N397V and I'm in Phase I.
