Stjohn's RV-7

Apparently, one should keep up on one’s FAA registration number reservation. I didn’t, and I lost N808FX to an Aerospatiale helicopter owned by Wells Fargo. That was kind of a bummer. But I got a better one: N313TD. 313TD is cool in two ways, first and most importantly, it’s not a tongue-twister on the comm. “Three One Three Tango Delta” is linguistically less laborious than “Eight Zero Eight Foxtrot X-Ray.” The other cool thing is 313 is Detroit’s area code, and was Ann Arbor’s before the suburban explosion of the 90’s and the accompanying telco deregulation and infrastructure upgrades. “TD” is short for ‘technical director’ which is what I’ve been doing in the FX business for a long time, and I’ve got screen cred to prove it. So there it is. New N-number.
