Oh happy day!!

It's officially official that I'm official.

10 weeks after passing my check ride I finally have my permanent #pilot certificate. This puts the truest "DONE" stamp on my dream. #HackerFlightSchool is a true success (even though it's not done, onward to instrument training next).

@alyssam_infosec First off, fabulous news. Congratulations on the success of your hard work and perseverance. So when are you getting a new N number that is significant to you, or has a storied history, or whatever ? 🤪
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec I think N412PA might be available...
Show threadAlyssa Miller 🛩️​   ​Feb 7, 2023
@fuzzface I have it reserved, but I have to decide if I'm actually going to change it or not and then I have to get the plain repainted if I do change it.
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec That is the hard question. MUO, your plane looks great with the current paint job.
Show threadAlyssa Miller 🛩️​   ​Feb 7, 2023
@fuzzface yeah and the current tail number is kind of becoming special in it's own right.
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec Well, it is 19 bucks a year to reserve the other number. Sounds like you made a decision, but you can hold the reservation until you make sure.
Show threadAlyssa Miller 🛩️​   ​Feb 7, 2023
@fuzzface $10 actually but yeah, I have N1337K reserved. Already had someone offer to buy it from me (I'm not sure that's actually legal)
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec I like it. I have no idea what the rules are on transferring a reserved number are. That is handled out of MMAC as I recall (OKC). I had a number on reserve for a while. I have to wonder if the person who grabbed it after me is expecting me to ask for it back. I guess it begs the question, is N number squatting a thing?
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec I have seen N1 up close. However, I was certainly not high enough on the food chain to get a ride.
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec I probably should have said “N1 in her home hanger, which is DCA Hanger 6. FAA runs a shuttle out of there to the FAA Tech Center at ACY. Approaches from the North into DCA on that turboprop are… exciting… no… I’ll go with nerve wracking. Pulling a 45+ degree roll while turning on approach is really special.

@fuzzface IDK. The company that contacted me was representing a guy who wanted it because the K is his initial. I was like, yeah uh, I searched all 24 possible combinations with 1337 and this one was expiring it's previous registration. I stayed up to midnight on the day it was set to expire just to be able to reserve it the moment it went free (yeah I'm a little obsessive sometimes).
Show threadfuzzfaceFeb 7, 2023
@alyssam_infosec I plan on getting that number I had back. I expect to be doing the same thing.
