It's pertinent for me to point out that I just got my private cert last year. This was something like a full decade later than I "thought" I'd get it. Truth be told, I hit enough roadblocks in my life during that decade that by the time I turned 30, I was starting to wonder if it was ever going to happen. Then I had a big change in my life that enabled me to finally go and do it.

The point is that that certificate in my wallet is a very special piece of plastic to me. Even though I was nowhere near building last fall, I decided to reserve an N-number as a sort of personal motivational tool. The airplane I soloed in was 391JA... I wanted 391RV, but alas, that was taken. So instead I went with the plane I flew for 95% of my private hours, 546DC... and thus 546RV was born.

Now I just need to finish another big life goal and put that number on the side.

Default n328tc

3rd month 28th day of Tim(me) and Carolyn's(wife) wedding of 32yrs. An interesting note: this number was first used on a rans s-7 that we built and flew for about 500hrs. Sold it to a person that was in Canada. Plane ended up in an episode of "The Border" mini-series episode #6. The registration was de-regulated because its in Canada now, so I got my numbers back for my rv8! Wish I would have had a note in the bill of sale for the s-7 about movie royalties!! bummer....ha ha

Default N 130YS

I have three boys plus boys (grown ones) like their toys (planes, bikes, motorcycles, cars, boats, trucks, etc etc). So, slide the 1 and 3 a little closer (1/2" min as per regs) and it looks like a B......hence...BOYS & TOYS.

It took the better part of a day of looking through numerous combo possibilities till I found one I liked. Dave

Default N77XV

Here's mine...

Couldn't find a single digit "7" so I took "77". The "X" is experimental. The "V" should be obvious...Vans.

I'm surprised more people dont use their serial number. I wish I had thought to use it before someone reserved it with my initials a few weeks before i thought of it.
