Default N4EW

Switched to N4EW because it was the shortest I could find with my last name.

I have N38LA reserved for my RV-10.
My deployment to Iraq was with the 38th Combat Aviation Brigade as the Brigade Standardization Officer, and the letters are my name. Of course the wife whined a little that I didn't include her in the process, but when that combination became available, I jumped on them.

I have a couple of numbers reserved. My RV-8A will most likely get stamped with 503RV, which represents where I live (503 being the Oregon area code) and then Romeo Victor -- well, you know. Seemed right to do especially given the fact that this is the home of Vans Aircraft and all. And, it was available (much to my surprise).

Other options I have are 503GH (my initials) and 999GH (I thought triple niner golf hotel rolled off the tongue pretty well, but not sure I could put that on a -8A hah).

Default wife and kids friendly

For our RV-10 I had reserved 109LB which had a 10 in it, wife and I were married September 10th so 9/10, our names Lene & Ben. But... I forgot to re-reserve it one year an the number ended up on a hot air balloon "Lindstrad Balloons" but now is on a helicopter.

Next choice, since I'm on the 8 year plan headed for 10 years to finish the RV-10 we've added 2 young members to the family so I now have reserved N104EE which works out as "10 for Elyse and Eli" and I cannot wait to hear the jokes on the radio "Experimental 4 Echo Echo (Echo Echo)"

I recently reserved mine. 927 was my late father's lucky number. What is the process for renewing the reservation? Do they send any kind of reminder?

Yes, you'll get a renewal letter a month or so before it expires.

99FN because I had a friend who if asked what kind a plane some plane was would always answer "It's an FN99". When asked what an FN99 was, answered "FN near a hundred".

Talking N66AU

Wanted a number with only 3 characters/letters. Wanted N6AU. RV6 + AU for Australia. 66AU was available.
My website is also AHS6.com. Also wanted AHS.com but is was taken so I added the 6 for my RV6.
Easy.
