Small victory

When we bought our J in 2022 it came with with tail number N202Y.   That's great, but not quite right.  It's a Mooney 201, not a 202.  Kind of like a vanity plate that just doesn't quite make sense.  Oh well.  It's easy to say.

On a whim In September I checked the FAA N-number availability list to see if by some chance N201Y was available.  I would have bet 100 AMU's that it wasn't because of the N-number squatters out there that seem to pounce on all the shorter ones.

I GOT IT!  Last week I received a confirmation letter from the FAA.  All I gotta do is change a 2 into a 1 and do the triplicate form tango with the FSDO.

In the category of lucky days- on October 3 at our local championship golf course someone shot 2 holes in one in the same round!

Congratulations!  I will never regret changing my tail number.

Would have been easier to speed mod it up to 202 and keep the name?

I would just told everyone is was just a bit better than a 201.
