I heard that the millenium falcon was a homebuilt experimental, but that Hans Solo is in deep with the FAA since it was found out that he neglected to fly-off his 40 hours (uncertified engine) before he left the Galaxy fly through nebula clouds (IFR), and furthermore he violated FA991.319

To bad about the loss.  It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

That is my least favorite quote as parsecs are a unit of distance not time. However I will allow Han this one.

This controversy is debated on Wookipedia.

In Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Han Solo boasted about the speed of his spaceship by claiming it made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, despite a parsec being a unit of distance. (In the novelization, he said, "less than twelve standard timeparts."[3]) Screenwriter George Lucas claimed the seeming gaffe in the film was intentional, showing that Han was something of a bull artist who didn't always know precisely what he was talking about.[4]
