Aircraft Registrations Explained

[@acegarcia3719]

My favorite is when airlines organize their aircraft registrations according to type, such as prefix 77 for a Boeing 777 or prefix 32 for an Airbus A320 for example.

I think the best registrations were Corsair's 747s : F-HSEA, F-HSEX and F-HSUN (from a Serge Gainsbourg song) and then F-HKIS and F-HLOV

I think WOW Air takes the cake for having some of the funniest registrations I’ve ever seen

Aeromexico has some of there planes registered with a us tail number and some with Irish tail numbers and some with Mexico tail numbers

I remembered in Jamaica our call sign is 6Y-

Many American carriers do number grouping for a family of aircraft. For example, FedEx with their MD-11’s do it with N- followed by a 600 number and FE. Their 757s are N-700 or 900 number ending with FE or FD. If I had the chance to run my own airline, I would keep up that idea.

Someone I knew as a private pilot, hers was C-FCKK. She hit the runway hard on her last flight... :(

Not anymore, they have all been re-registered to Ireland :) www.planespotters.net/airline/Air-Astana

Can you do a video on the possibility of the 787f and the a330neo freighter?

With free range, an emoji based system might be worth trying!
