Which airport, what type of aircraft ?
Probably some of the paint peeling off or something; PU- is not allocated (but would be Brazilian if it was: http://life.itu.int/radioclub/rr/ap42.htm ).

Just realised that the codes I found were for something completely different anyway! Should have paid attention to what I was looking at...
PT, that list you linked to: presumably some of the call signs listed are for things other than aircraft? Eg XJA-XOZ Canada... Any ideas?

Explains why 'new' countries don't often get prefixes which make sense - the obvious choices are already assigned.

Thanks for all that folks. It was an RV, and looked most like an RV-6A, the only one I recognise as I have time in one. And it was in KOSH - Oshkosh, WI

"Luiz Carlos Novi considered adding extra fuel capacity to his RV-9 before" - just goes to show how crap I am at telling one RV from another....
