Started going through the parts inventory and documentation over the weekend. The customer/kit number assigned by Van's is 666. Actually it's 120666, but the 12 refers to the A/C model, and the zero is a reserve number like a dash "-". So now I'm thinking about changing the blog name from Natomas Follies to something like "Mark of the Beast"On the other hand, that might sound a little too much like the name of an 80's heavy metal band. Tail number N666RV was reserved by Van's for one of it's RV-6A's.
Speaking of tail numbers, anyone have any good suggestions for a tail number? You can look up available numbers at the FAA Registry website. Just remember that American aircraft #'s start with an N; that pilots identify themselves by their tail number when talking to ATC on the radio; and that the phonetic alphabet is used to say the letters (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, etc.). Something with an R ("Romeo") would be nice. The CFO will like that.
So we keep wondering what Natomas Follies means?
