Why did you pick your N Number ?

[Tailpilot]

Mine is for my wife/build partner/money maker N143KW

1- one letter in "I"
4- four letters in "love"
3- three letters in "you"
K- her first name
W- last name

Plus I wanted something with whiskey in it
And N7W was taken

[Jeff Hagg]

N548JH
N=N
Lycoming 540 engine= 54
In a RV8= 8
Jeff = J
Hagg = H
Hope that helps.

(M)ark and (T)erri married in June (6), 19(78)

She hasn't really helped me on the project, but she hasn't complained either and that says a lot!

Actually not complaining is a BIG help

My grandpa let me "help" him build and fix stuff when I was little. I doubt I'd have the confidence to take on a project like this without that experience. He died a long time ago, long before I started my project. We always called him Grandpa C. I'm building the RV-8 so my N number is "one eight for Grandpa C" - N184GC. I even have some of his old tools and tools he gave me when I was a kid that I use regularly on my RV-8.

My RV9A is N911WH. My kit was shipped from Vans on Sept 11, 2001, the very day the airliners took down the buildings in New York City. WH for its builders, Watson and Homsley.

Very Impressive! I like the idea that you are remembering the date.

May I suggest that it wasn't the airliners that took down the towers, rather it was the radical terrorists that took over the airliners that did so.

Soft language that minimizes what actually happened, and why it happened, will only encourage repeat events. Soft language is a result of our PC world.

Don't be afraid to speak the truth.

I fully expect that this post won't last the day.

RV relevancy: Our flying freedom has been curtailed as a direct result of the 9-11 attack.

I had read that family support or lack thereof was critical to the success of the project. I wanted (needed) to draw the wife into the project early ...
so ...
7/30 is the wife's birthday :-)
The 'RV' in the tail number was a must for me .
