Default N153TK

RV-4 flying for 21+ years now...

1- First airplane
53- Last two numbers of my birth year
T- My first name, Tom
K- My (now ex) wife and both my kids thought it was for their first names (Karen, Kevin, Kristen) and I never told them any different. In reality, it was always for my own middle name, Kevin!

This has allowed me to use the same basic outline for my next two kit built planes (without having to think about that ex-wife person!)

N353TK, Rans S-7S Courier, hoping to fly this fall (253TK wasn't available)

N553TK, RV-7A, messing with it on and off...struggling with the tip up canopy right now...

As for my forum name...TomRV-8? Well that kit is sitting in the corner my hangar waiting for me to finish the other two planes!

Smile My Plan B

As Pierre noted, a Plan B is sometimes needed. I'm a great believer in honoring someone special in your life, so reserved a number for the -4 that included my girl friend's initials and birth year. When she left I reserved a new number which I will transfer soon: N1926C, my mom's birth year and her nickname's initial. I plan to name the airplane "Cookie," in her honor. Since she got her nickname in WWII by being likened to Cookie Bumstead in the "Blondie" comic strip, I plan to use Cookie Bumstead's image for nose or tail art. Besides, "26 Charlie" sounds a whole lot better than "44 November Juliet," doesn't it?! Significant Others come and go, but Moms are forever. Happy Mother's Day!
