Default Somethng different!

My Mooney was a M20D S#193 retrofitted to a retract so N193DR. My RV-8 was a 1st for me(Robby Knox) so 184RK. My RV-6A was a challenge from a friend that died with his son in his 6A before I completed the challenge and I while I wanted to honor his memory, his brother asked me not to paint it yellow, so I decided not to use the N number as a reminder as well. I did something a little different in playing with the number. I planned to deck this plane out or to excess so I chose N62XS, an RV-6 to excess(X S).

I didn't choose this registration as I'm not the builder of this airplane. The original builder named it after his wife, Joy. For several years I've been the steward of this fine aircraft and have had the pleasure of giving many people their first light aircraft flight. When I see all the smiles this aircraft has brought, both to me and her passengers, I can't help but think she's very well named indeed. C-GJOY

The registration is reserved for our next airplane, C-GVLF - with VLF representing the first initial of each of our kids names.

N507H
N is for being American
5 is for May
07 is for 2007
H is for Hunt
Now for the rest of the story
It is our wedding Anniversary and now I have no excuse to forget it!!!

Less I'd spend the rest of my life living in the Hanger.

Could not make any combination of my wife's or my initials work with any birthday or anniversary.
So we picked 505RV.
505 is my home town area code.

Default My anniversary and our initials

I chose my N number based on our anniversary, Sept. 27, (28 yrs coming up) and our initials (Mary and Gary). It's the least I could do to recognize my wife who has always encouraged me thru this odyssey of many years!

Default N Number

Wow Gary, that is a gorgeous paint job! Did you do it yourself?

Mine is N921DF. 9 'cause it's an RV-9. 21 because all the other good numbers were taken, and DF for my initials.
