Mexicana Airlines question

[El Bucho]

Anybody seen how a bunch of Mexicana's airplanes have N-numbers? How does that work? How are they not Mexican registered?

What about the UPS airplanes with the foreign registery?

They are stolen

 

[satpak77]

They are stolen

no that would just be the King Airs and 210's with N-numbers

 

[indianboy7]

Don't you mean Meheeecana?

Royer.

 

[satpak77]

the "g" letter in Spanish is indeed pronounced as an "h" hotel when its after a vowel.

Rogelio (the name) is Row-helio

also, Geronimo would be Her-roneemo

so, it stands to reason that Roger would be Royer/Roher, even when they do their best try to pronounce it like the gringos do

 

[PastFastMover]

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Mexicana is the oldest North american airline. I believe it was founded around 1920 or 1921.
