N4RT no birthdays or anniversary dates, just the shortest combo I could find! And thinking of a short ATC call back. Well my anniversary is 9-10-11......

I reserved N69YT because N69WT was taken.

I just started my PPL training after years and years of built up ambition. The tail numbers on the trainer goofed me up a few times on the radio, so I punched in the FAA search tool, found I could reserve the number for my future RV, and found one that was funny and rolled off the tongue. After not seeing it published, I didn't think it would go through. 2 months after submitting the request, they finally processed it and here we are.

Now I need to place the order for the emp kit soon! decisions decisions, 10 or 7...

Thanks, Dale!

A friend of mine, Walt Halloran (who has painted everything), painted it. It is his third airplane. Now I am putting everything back together!

Check my Kitlog site for more photos. I am slowly bringing it up to date.

Default N8JL

The "8" is obviously for my RV8 and the JL is my first and middle name..

They wouldn't give me N "Widget"

The only thing wrong with single digit N-Numbers is 90 percent of the time ATC calls me back with "say full call sign"

Default N515RV

My wife's birthday. I won't show it cuz we just never tell a woman's age.
Sweetie has put up with me for 28 years. She's supported me in everything including our RV7a (Lucy)
Basically her birthday is all "1" and "5".
So 511RV was the closest we could find.

Default N58DG

My initials preceded by my age at projected completion and the minimum syllables I could come up with. Should have been 60DG.

Wish I had 181DG... Cuz that's how fast she goes.... True.

N708CM

My dad and brother helped to build my 6A. My dad passed before it was done. My brother thought of it. My day was born July (7) 08th. His name was Charlie Mack. Sometimes when I am calling on the radio I will use Charlie Mack versus Charlie Mike
