Default NX13PL

Louise found "13PL" in a routine search of the FAA database - we already had a couple of other usable numbers reserved when this came up. "P" and "L" for Paul and Louise (obviously), and we couldn't pass up a two-digit number that ended in "3"...the "1" was a nice unique touch. And getting to paint on the "X" just makes it cool!

I have reserved N96LV - which is the year (1996) that I fell in love (LV) with my wife Susan. Kind of a sneaky way to get her involved with the project.

N337CW, 337 is my son Lee's name seen upside down, a carry over from a boat he and I built when he was learning to sail. CW are my daughters initials, and getting to say Charley Whiskey on the radio just sounds cool!

Default N9823W

N9823W

98 is the year my wife and I were married

23 is for 23rd Fighter Squadron - my first operational F-16 Sqdn and the Sqdn I was in when I met my wife

"W" for...well...err...Whiskey! Did I mention we were married in Lynchburg TN after touring the Jack Daniel's Distillery? I was on leave from Korea at the time - True story.
