P-PYLOT,(ponchess Pilot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
FLY-737,Grade 3 instructor.
FLY-BOY,New CPL from Melbourne.

[Kiwi Flyer]

AV8R- Microlight Pilot

But worse still, and a bit of a rare sight, those yellow stick on things in the rear window of your car such as "baby on board".

I've seen "Instructor on Board", and "Student Pilot on Board"

Really, I just cringe:yuk:

KF

[Crashlanded]

Have seen a car with "QF747" & VHCAR.

Will update again if I bump into others :)

[NoseGear]

G'day KF, that one you mentioned, AV8R, is that on that flash Holden in Auckland? If so, I have seen him around, the :mad: plonker!!

I always wanted 4NIK8R but I have to get it by the wife!!!:ok:

Nosey:E

[slice]

When I was doing some non-aviation work at the MVR office in Darwin(at $50 each - WORLD CAPITAL OF WANKY NUMBER PLATES!!) I struck up a conversation with one of the office guys who told me that there is a commitee that meets every week to discuss the 'suitability' of the personal plate applications. My fave - PHARQU - he said was absolutely borderline! - ie could be seen to be considered possibly obscene when interpreted in a certain way! :E

[Islander Jock]

And then there's the posters who have the same number plate as thier PPRUNE handle. eh Justin :p

[Kiwi Flyer]

I believe nosegear, we could be talking about the very same vehicle:yuk:

Non aviation one that tickled me, on BMW, "WAS HIS".

Thats gotta hurt:{

KF

[nomorecatering]

My favourites are


2HOT4U

IMHOT

ASTUD

yes, real numberplates I have seen, usually on hotted up s___boxes driven by young males.

[fruitloop]

Best I've seen on a AA gas street machine was

IXLR8 and he ran a 10.....

[Max Range]

Someone around Melbourne has CAVOK number plates.
Wishful thinking in Melbourne?

[splatgothebugs]

Worst aviation one was simply = P1LOT. stroke that ego carefully:p

BEST plates I have seen (both in the same town)

A little mx5 (lady driver) = 12NV (one to envy)

Big old Holden V8 with a skin head in it = INVNO1 (I envy no 1)

splat.

[High Altitude]

Doing the training back in 91...

Wingz & Wingz1 both on BMW's one an older gentleman, one a much younger...:\

[Lloyd Braun]

"FLY BOY 747" => I assume belonged to a RACWA instructor.

I thought about a leaving aviation after seeing that.

[Checkerboard]

Yes! Yes!! Had to laugh when I saw this topic.

Rocco at Bluewater Aviation Townsville has .............

CFI 01

and is very proud of it:yuk: :yuk: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Captain Sand Dune]

Oh dear!! See the "Cringe-worthy" thread in the D & G General Aviation section. Seems like there's no shrtage of w*&^%$#s in the aviation industry.:yuk:

[Cougar]

Black beamer in YSSY Carpark = LOADID

[compressor stall]

Not a number plate but gave me a good laugh...

big sticker across the back window of a hotted up V8 holden ute with all the bits that a good looking girl was driving, : "No this is not my boyfriend's ute."

[Keg]

I drive an FC Holden and I drive a 767. The number plate is AFC-767.

I'm certainly not alone in the QF car park of being proud of what I do. Lots of 767s, 747s, 744s, 737s, etc. Haven't see a '330' yet though! :p

Horses for courses. That said, I'd never stick a number plate on a car of an aircraft that I hadn't driven!

[Transition Layer]

Seen around Bankstown on a little black sports car - FLY-41T

Hmm...:hmm:

[Anti Skid On]

I've seen the AV8OR plate around too, but recollect in the UK a guy whose mobile phone number was has aircraft type - 757 233

[WhiteRat Wannabe]

What about B747-400 on a Barina (or some other small sh!tbox) down at Jandakot, driven by an instructor.:yuk:

[Farknel]

A number plate seen in the Navair carpark @ BK in 1990 - "SEX 747"

The owner was at the time, a QF FE who was converting to SO.

The original number plate was a special NSW issue for the 1988 Australian Bicentennial and actually looked quite smart. Needless to say someone with even less taste than the rightful owner stole it and the owner then had to replace it with a standard black on yellow NSW plate (still SEX-747) - gee, we really felt sorry for him!

Fark

[OpsNormal]

The most appropriate avdriver's numberplate I've ever layed eyes on was on a little black Honda a bit north of here....

She knows who she is.... and what the plate is... ;)

On a previous car in a previous life (before aviation), I had a plate that resembled my nickname, but that doesn't get printed here.... :E

Another Wazzie fella I know has the rego of his own personal a/c as his 4x4 rego, given to him as a present as far as I am aware.

Honestly, some of you need to take a bex and a lie down. What is the big deal if someone wants to be a little different to you? Are you feeling inadequate and feel you have to scorn something you don't personally like, let alone understand?

Some tolerance might be in order guys and girls, just because someone wants to be different to you doesn't make them any bigger ******** than you. It is a world made-up of over 4 billion individuals, either get with it or get out of it, but don't sit there and snipe, for you give every aussie and kiwi here in D+G who feels differently to you a bad name the more and more you go on and on on these (viewable by anyone with interent access across the whole world) BB's.

Here endeth the lesson.

Oh, and Bushie that rego is "P Pylut", go have a gander tomorrow old son. Did you get your a/c hoses? :)

Regards,
Ops.

[Dawn Raid]

Anyone who knows NAP will know a beauty. ( yes I'm envious - you have more toys than me.)

[OpsNormal]

In one Dawnie, in one.:ok:

[Used and Abused]

Had to laugh. Saw "flyboy" a few years ago in Melb. Just had to whip out the camera at the lights. Photo ended up in the newsletter too!

Another instance was in the process of signing out a cross hire (172) to some bloke with the aviator sunnies hanging out of the pocket when his phone rang the good old top gun theme.

How can you tell the pilot at a party? Don't worry, he'll tell you.

[Time Bomb Ted]

I saw " GJUNKY" on a very well known aerobatic pilot's BMW. I like that one. Not 747PLT though.

I thought about ILUVME but MRS Ted refused.

[Towering Q]

Hmmmmm, A380 might look pretty cool on my old Falcon.:ok:
Unfortunately that's the Ford variety, not the Dassault.

[TASEsq]

I saw one on a pilot's wife's MERC with three letters followwed by the three numbers of the aircraft type... XXX-7X7

He said "That's who drives it... And That's where the money came from."

[Not_Another_Pot]

Don't be envious Dawnie, my toys cost a ****e load to keep! (prolly more than I admit or want to know!) Yes the plates were a pressie from my kids (after I prompted them!)

Funny thing is that people who have no interest in aviation look at my plates and say (insert best dumb voice) what does that mean! Yep, coppers included!

Hehehe, life is fun!

NAP

[the wizard of auz]

I think I might get one that says GNX450, what do ya reckon NAPPY?.
I just love them expensive toys......... Wish I could afford some though. (apart from Daisy) :D :}

[Pseudonymn]

NAPpy, has your ego recovered from being driven around in a Mazda Rice Bubble yet? :}
I still haven't forgiven you about the handbrake, though. :ouch:

OpsN, what is it worth to keep that Number Plate secret? ;)

[ugly]

A guy I know wanted 6UL DV8 but they wouldn't give it to him.

I heard another guy got W0G 007. He had to threaten legal action to get them - his arguement. "I'm a w0g and if I want to call myself one I can"

Appropriate plate for a pilot might be W*NKER... :rolleyes:

Side note - teach the young ones the phonetic alphabet by reading plates :D

[OpsNormal]

'Ole W0G 007.... Such a pity back in the very very late eighties (yep, that year we don't mention here... ;) ), in that orange Cortina he was running a 351W with a basic under-carbie NOS nitrous spraybar kit. Not a bad bit of gear for it's day, but no match (and proven at Brickies at Auburn), for the will and might of a Boss 351 (a Windsor bottom end with Dot4 Clevo heads for those of you who might have any idea), with the first of the NOS Pro-Shot fogger kits that resided under the bonnet of my '71 Capri, complete with tricked C4 and nine-inch.....

Just as well he kept driving that night..... there was a pink slip riding on it. Ah, life before aviation. :}

Ugly, your mate who I think he is, or has the plate gone back to the RTA these days? (you do say you are from Sydney...)

[bush mechanics]

Ops,Sorry I dont follow,A/C hoses??????What does this mean?

[ugly]

Ugly, your mate who I think he is, or has the plate gone back to the RTA these days? (you do say you are from Sydney...)

I didn't personally know W0G-007 - friend of a friend (yeah I'm in Sydney)

[Northern Chique]

OpsN .... not that little black honda just back from TFC huh? ;)

[Ovation]

Bloody Plates! My son very thoughtfully gave me personalised plates (yes, with my aircraft Rego) for xmas about 4 years ago. Cost him a couple of hundred, but it costs me that every year to keep them, and I know if I hand them in he'll be offended.

It's not like a gift of a shirt or a jumper you don't like!

[YIPYIO]

My handle at Pprune is YIPYIO and guess what my number plate is?:p

Right in one!

:E

[OpsNormal]

Aha Chique, I see you still peek in here every now and again... ;)

hehehe.... Headed back up the top yet? :}

Regards,
Ops.:D

[PropDuster]

Does that mean the plate is up for sale with the rest of the operation? I'm excited!!

[Northern Chique]

Ops... back with avengence and permanently based in Darwin as of 3 weeks ago!!! and so is the car.... dammed mango season though, everyone has gone nuts up here!

mmmmm spa drink and days off! bliss

Oh yeah... silver Honda CRV in Darwin.... ROMEO...

I always did like BURNME on something that was once a car but now is a mobile rust bucket

and a back window sticker on a hot ute.... "mine... not his!"

My work truck doesnt need number plates for ID or personality.. it already has big labels down the side

[borg]

What about GASUX?

[ache]

;)

Seen in a flying school car park in Palmerston North:

RPAINR (Pain in the Rs)

A gift from his ex?...

...or describing the car?

[maxxpowers]

Recently seen PILOT4:yuk:

oh well:8

[Eurocap]

The best one I have seen is TIMOV which when viewed through the rear vision mirror reads VOMIT and that just about sums up this thread.

Cheers

[PILOTGAL]

Spotted several years ago, a hot, red sporty something driven by a pleasing bit of eye-candy....number plate simply read 'MOIST':rolleyes:

She could've been a meterologist....

[Johhny Utah]

Driving around with a mate of mine this morning, we saw "QF 1" new style NSW (maroon) plates on an older silver & maroon Ford F-150 Pick-up. :rolleyes:
Then again, we were in Mosman - you would need to be on a QF Captains wage to keep pumping fuel into that beast at todays prices...!

[John Eacott]

Here's a likely pair ;)

[Wings Of Fury]

Has anyone put "pprune" on there car plates yet??
I bet you someone did about a year or 2 ago! :ouch:

[BabyMetroBoy]

Very very sad that people cannot come up with any better ways of wasting money then getting aviation related personalised number plates. Do they just not realise what a toss off they are making of themselves? I just don't understand. When I see these number plates I laugh... not at the wittiness or the cleverness of rampant stupidity, but I laugh at the poor owners who just don't realise we are laughing AT them not WITH them. The money the RTA gets from these ridiculous plates should go towards establishing psychological testing of all pilots, GA or otherwise so that we may never be subjected to such torture in the future. Cmon people there are better things in life.

[the coyote]

Melbourne a few years back on a flash Porche: "DRUGS"

[maxxpowers]

today saw sexapl! may as well have been on a Hyundai for what it's worth!!!:yuk:

[Alicantino]

i think one of the FI at Clamback & Hennessy at BK has "FLYBOY" on a Peugeot 306
that guy i think has been stuck there for a while.

[tinpis]

Sticker seen on young ladies sporty jobby...

If you are going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair

[100% N1]

Well, my number plate has "747" in it, but they're not personalised. It was just luck I guess :ok:

[Continental-520]

Yep, same here.

I've got B-737 in my rego, but that's pure coincidence, cause the rego was issued when the car was new, when I was 3 yrs of age.

And no, I didn't buy the car just cause of that. My old one got written off and the one I bought was the only one of its type on the market when I got the $$$ from the insurance company to buy a replacement.


520.

[Northern Chique]

In NSW a aquaintance used to have a set of utes and 4x4's with plates PILOT 1 through 9. thise plates have nothin to do with aviation. Those boys drive slower than grandma on Sunday.

They escort wide and long truck loads all around the country.

[Travelling Toolbox]

Northern Chique

He he he......

My missus has described me as a "wide load" from time to time ;)

But she never had to drive a pilot veehickle with flashin' lights in front of me :ok:


TT

[I'm gone!]

Gday all,

On a new Red Monaro in the BN QF staff carpark, "PILOTS"

:yuk:

Cheers,
I'm gone!

[The Voice]

hardly a number plate but emblazened across the rear window of a shiny red not so new model Ford sedan is 6 inch white italic lettering:

jetpilot

sad but true .. parked in the shopping centre at Fannie Bay DRW

[stilly]

I saw a sticker on the back of a car the other day that read

"Jetpilot"

Not sure if it meant anything else, but it was a big ford F350, so I’m guessing he was an airline pilots, those cars are not cheep.

[Pseudonymn]

JetPilot is actually a brand of Surf and Adventure Gear, so it may be totally unrelated to flying.

But then again, maybe not... :}

[High Altitude]

VH MTY on a SS UTE???

[the wizard of auz]

Saw one on a hot little jap number in front of the shopping center in Kalgoorlie yesterday Wasted1.

[Travelling Toolbox]

Some I have seen around this neck of the woods:

B NVS on a hot little blue Subaru

his moni on a nice little beemer sport

phantom what else but a roller?

350zed Agian what else but a nissan?

my car eloguent

imprsiv Another Suburu

[ugly]

I'd get SHTBOX for my car except the plates would be worth more than the car...:rolleyes:

[Felix Lighter]

The Swire managers at Cathay get Volvos with their package. The number plates are all prefixed CX: eg.

CX747, CX340, CX777, CX744, CX346 etc.........

Makes it easy to spot 'management' and the palaces they live in!

Also seen WINGS2, & on a red ferrari (driven by v hot blonde lass) VIRGIN

Kiwi ex-fighter pilot, now married to TV celeb CHECK6

[Hugh Jarse]

So the guy who owns CHECK6 is a poof?

Does the translation from kiwi to English read "chicks suck":}

[18-Wheeler]

I have to admit to have three sets -
OAE-860 for my AE-86 Corolla.
OKP-610 for my RWD KP-61 Starlet.
And the ones below for my Fraser Clubman ->

[Luke SkyToddler]

Ex PPL student at my school ... total spanker ... his black BMW M series had the plates "VNE" ... and he bought it before he'd even gone solo :yuk:

[Northern Chique]

On the road to the airport then other day, one tired toyota forerunner..... TOO-SLO

[Barbers Pole]

We had a co once who had "I FLY IT" on his plate, we reckoned he more likely "flogged it" cos he couldn't fly for ****..
