Bengie,
Agree. When Beech came out with a new series of King Air about ten years ago, it bought up a bunch of N numbers from owners to whom they had been issued. My brother had one in the series and was approached about selling his (it included repainting part of the airplane). He thought about it for a while and declined.
Turns out some folks will pay handsomely for a desired N number.
Back in the late '70s the governor of New York had "1NY", except that when it was placed behind the N it looked, on first glance, like "ninny". I wonder if it's still the case.
Best regards,
Rick
