show me your airplane

Maybe I should have qualified that with "current system"

Did you ever go into the DoL office where they were documented? It was a wall of tiny drawers all holding index cards. Then, on the counter there was what they referred to as "the brand bible" that had them all listed by brand in "brandabetical order" I.e. they were still using the 1873 system If you wanted to register a new one there was a lady who took your application then went through the bible and made a judgement call on if it was "too close" to another one.

Oh and you can register brands for birds and fish amongst others....

Uh yeah, that branding fish thing ... I do it all the time ... on the grill!

Well, I now fly and teach in several different airplanes ranging from a Remos LSA up to the occasional 182 that don't belong to me, but I once owned a share (and flew 200+ hours) in this gem:

It had a Lycoming O-320 conversion, which was great for performance (important where I live), but it really cut into the endurance (To put that into perspective, I once flew it from SAF to SEZ and had to stop for fuel in both GUP and INW along the way).

My ride:

One of my favorite cessnas ever built. I did my commercial in one of those.
