Squawk7777

I noticed a DHL plane at MEX the other day and the rather unusual registration caught my attention: HK-14000HP. Now on landings.com it says that the suffix (Columbia) of the tailnumber has a special meaning/assignment. Anybody here who can shed light into the dark?

¡Muchas gracias!

Not much light from this dim bulb, but I also went to the site and couldnt find anything with that many numbers registered in Columbia. I didnt dig far enough to help on the "HP" It also appears that this has been compiled by someone on AOL. as the link was to "miaspotter@aol.com".
I suggect you drop an email and see. I doubt seriously that DHL would lend its name to anything sinister if they wish to operate in countries down south.

I found a picture of one of those DHL 727s. The plane's registration I saw was probably HK-1400DHP. Still have no idea what the suffix represents ....

As far as I know, and I use to fly in Colombia for 17 years, Colombian registration is "HK" and one, two, three or four numbers, depending on the year that was registered, allways followed by a letter... just one...
W- for executive or charter, P- for private, I-for schools and some others that I don't remember...
Unless DHL has being granted special regs, I never saw more than one letter on the regs...
And if the aircraft on the picture in registered in Colombia, is Illigal, cause they require the reg. to be painted on the bottom of the left wing, the top of the right and the tail..
Correct me if I'm wrong ... been a long time out of S.A.

Keep it safe
