Whoa.....

My guess would be coincidence considering that the FAA Inspector who signed off the airworthiness cert on that plane probably didn't pay much attention or make the mental connection.

However, the owner may have had a more sinister motive. Impossible to tell.

 

[Swass]

Nah.


If it was N1GGA then you may have stumbled onto something.

Nah.


If it was N1GGA then you may have stumbled onto something.

I just checked and viola!

Quick someone needs to alert Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

There is a german registered 340 with the tail numbe of : D-IRTY

Makes you wonder how many people were indoctrinated into the mile high club in the back of that plane!

I saw C-FUHQ at Oshkosh in 1999. It was a Canadian C172.. that one I had to photograph.

I would not read much into this, personally. Riddle aircraft have a lot of "ER" on the end as I recall.

I've heard that one before, there was also a rumor, don't know if it's true or not, about a previous owner of that tail #, after EMBR

In Troy, Michigan, outside of Detroit, there is a road called Big Beaver Road, I-75, Exit NUMBER 69.. hmm
