Funny aircraft registrations
 
Anyone ever takes notice of aircraft registrations and that they sometimes inadvertently spell out a word or have a meaning?

Last week I saw a plane with OK-EGO as it's registration lol.
I also once saw an LH aircraft with D-AHLU as it's registration. In my language that means "stick/place it in!"
:ok:

Sorry to correct you, but there is no aircraft with D-AHLU at LH. There is one registered D-AILU (A319). ;)

So long, DBate

In PNG, we had "Obscene Airways" collectively known as
P2-COC, P2-BOX and P2_TIT. Italy has an I-Fu*k (Honest)
and the UK has a few that slipped thro the net ... G-ONAD, as has been spotted, was one. G-BOLX (C172) was another.
No doubt, the spottas amongst you, will have a few more.
Oh, yes G-ROWL a pup from memory.....could be wrong.

Now you want funny names for places try intersections. Have crossed the !!!!E intersection and started the approach at BALLS. No Joke.

I am sure there was a G-OLLY at one time - can't recall the type.

Kenting Aviation has a photosurvey aircraft - can't remember the type - registered CF-ICU. There used to be a Beaver around here registered CF-ART. :D
