If a plane had a tail that was YV-3???. What country is it
registered in? Is there a site that shows which country gets
what leading tail characters, N=US, F=France, C=Canada...etc.

The other day I saw a new Citation Mustang parked at the
airport. The seats still had the plastic on them. The number was
"OK", which apparently is Czech Republic.
My home field in California doesn't have a "K" number. When I
fly direct to Canada I have to tell them I'm actually departing
from a different airport just to make their computer happy.

One of the newest tail number prefixes is M which stands for the
Isle of Man Useful for personalised tail numbers like M-IKEY

Geared toward private jets, fees promised to be lower than Europe,
more "user-friendly", etc.


A-ha.. I'd say there would be a market for that. Private flying is nutso
expensive in Europe.
They have another cool rule. No speed limits except in towns.
Nutcase bikers form all over converge on the place just to drive as fast
as they can.
As long as they can.
