When I was learning to fly in '73 the change in
registrations came about. They had run out of CF numbers, having run
through CF-AAA to CF-ZZZ, with some left out for obvious reasons, so
they went to the C- format, starting with C-GXXX, and as older
airplanes were repainted they were converted from CF-ABC to C-FABC.

So, as older planes are repainted, they'll run out of numbers again. Sort of
defeats the avowed purpose of changing the scheme.
