    In the main, aircraft registrations can be pretty bland and boring but there are many out there that do offer a sense of hilarity, fun and satisfaction. Some registrations say alot about the owner or the company owning/operating the aircraft. Here are a few and if YOU know any, feel free to add to the list.

    N96UA

    This is worn by a Gulfstream G550 operating for the Under Armour brand. N (U.S registration) 96 (when the brand was established) UA (initials of the brand).

    G-SUGA

    This registration is on an Embraer Legacy 650 that flies for British business man Lord Alan Sugar. The registration is fairly straightforward G (British registration) SUGA (representation of the owner's surname)

    G-LCDH

    This registration is on the tail of a Bombardier Challenger 605 and the livery on the aircraft is easily recognizable to the pairing of its frequent flyer occupant. Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton utilizes this midsize jet and has his full initials on the back-end of the British registration, G-LCDH.

    Yet another jet that Nike more or less paid for is Michael Jordan's Gulfstream IV with his signature avatar and the MJ initials tagging his n-numbers...

    Some owners like to remain anonymous. This isn't one of them! A Boeing 727-100 was followed by a Boeing 757 and now a 747; compliments of tired tax payers...

    Saw this one come in over the weekend with registration N6D, a Gulfstream G650ER said to be Dell Technologies Corporate jet. I believe they previously operated a Global Express with the same registration. Photo below is by Eric Dennison

    This aircraft is said to be used by Taylor Swift. It is a Dassault Falcon 900 registered N898TS. The registration has personal meaning to the operator. Swift’s favourite number is 13 and you can see this marked near the door of the aircraft. Of course her initials and part of her birth year (1989, which is also the title of her award-winning album) make up the registration. It also has another 8, which represented the number of chart-topping singles Swift had at the time.

    This information needs a little update. Dornier Seawings has started to produce the aircraft again.

    The aircraft on the right is one those original Seastars. The aicraft on the left is the first new one preparing for its first flight. Btw. the test pilot is a former Navy squadron buddy of mine.

    Above the first new aircraft after having flown already several times and meanwhile with a painted hull. The second aircraft is in production. During the aquisition phase of my amphibious Cessna 206, I was offered one of the older aircraft and I had the chance to fly her. Impressive performance, especially on rough waters and very easy to fly with its centerline thrust and its TNT wing. This plane is really build for amphibious operation on open sea. To bad the older planes had an corrosion prone alloy hull.

    The new generation Seastar has a corrosion free GRP hull and is build to the newest EASA and FAA standards.
    I am really tempted to buy one. Above a picture of her first flight. I really like her new digital cockpit.

    Just my two (Euro) cents
