N Number Choice?
Starting to think about reserving a number and wondering how others decided on thier tail numbers. Birthdays, anniversary, initials? What's your story?

It's because I have the maturity level of a 12 year old.

Unfortunately...
My top 3 choices belong to old bonanzas...
N1CE
N11CE
N111CE
and the one I settled on N110XL was snatched from me when the FAA didn't process my renewal payment correctly...

N526RM
The 526 is the beginning of an old C-180 I used to fly and remember fondly.
The RM is the initials of my wife's and my first names...plus I like how Romeo Mike rolls off the tongue.

A clever n-number is n1x4yy where x is the RV type and yy are the initials of your name, like n184jb for an RV8. Spoken: one eight for joe blow. Sadly, other RVers know this and you may not be able to get the initials you desire.

Started with the old birthday and name initials. But that got old real fast. Now it's sweet and short - N8ZN.
A buddy who works for NASA has N 594CE. Looks pretty good from a slight angle.
