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

Hey, Kiwi Flyer

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

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

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!

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

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.

fish OK, I'll fess up

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!

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