I wonder what his "other car" is?

We also have a former Luftwaffe pilot locally who’s Mercedes (go figure?) has a plate that reads “ME109 G6”

Elmer Ward (owner of P-51D “Man O’ War” and ex- owner F8F N3025) had the following plates on his 1966 Chevy Nova. P51DNF8F. This in a frame which said “happiness is flying my…”.

Some gal drops her kid off at the school just up the street & the plate is the a P38 sqdn number or a Fighter Group. I’ll have to pay attention next time I see & report back.
I’ve also seen SR 71, HABU & HABU PLT around town.

I may put *78TH FG* on the Ranchero I just painted….. or maybe NGNG..

This could be a thread with “legs”…personal plates with an aviation theme.

I’ve got “ST FB11” on my car…wanted just “FB11” but somebody already had that, and I’ve ever since wondered whether that’s coincidence or is the other person a Fury fan too. (Oh, and the car is a Plymouth, but sadly not a Plymouth Fury, which would make the connection complete!)

Used to be up at CWH a lot; one of the vets who volunteered there had a Saturn wagon with plates reading “HALLY 3”. Dennis Bradley (former CWH president) had “DJB P51”, on a Jag XJ iirc; saw “P51 LVR” (New York plate) at Geneseo airshow back in the day, and just last weekend saw “VC 9Z0” at the Russell airshow at Niagara South–VC920 was one of the old RCN reserve squadrons, so I had to stop my Plymouth next to that and get a quick pic of the two Naval Air-related vanity plates. (And somebody else must have had “VC 920” already, else why sub-in the “Z”?)

There must surely be tons of these out there…any more??

Years ago, I had the plate P-51 on a Ford Mustang.
A cop pulled me over once to ask if I had one.
I almost said, “If I could afford a P-51, would I be driving this thing?”

I still have the plate…but the Mustang’s been replaced with something German.
