I am trying to get my 3rd Military Navy plate.
My Thunderbird has VA 55 and the Explorer has VA195, both were my Attack Squadrons.
I tried to go for CVA14 and CVA31, both were my aircraft carriers, no luck.
I tried ME262 and it worked.
It is ordered for the VW Passat but I am thinking making a switch and it needs to go on the Tbird.

P.S.1 Nebraska specialty plates have 5 symbols/letters even if one of them is a space.
P.S.2 I visited the Willy Messerschmitt museum and saw one of the 5 USA made reproduction ME262's.
Jet engines were general Electric J-85.
Speed max was set to 565 MPH for safety reasons.

You can get one of these baseball caps when you visit the Willy Messerschmitt Museum at the Manching Air Base (by Ingolstadt Germany).
It is within walking distance where I used to live for a while, after the war.

P.S. Don't forget to take pictures of the ME-262 and the ME-109.
At times they were only open one Friday each month.
It is a high security base. There were US and German pilots flying planes there.Last edited by HKS; May 3, 2022, 08:47 AM.2002 TB Motor Trend COTY Blue/White/Full #24737 (One of 291)

Did I forget to add a picture of ME262
ME262-Stormbird-640.jpg
The 2015 Passat Diesel has the Jet Attack Squadron VA 55 license plate, in honor of my Bohemian squadron commander, Navy Captain Hank Urban (short for Urbanek).
Interned at Arlington National Cemetery
The 2002 Tbird ME262 plate is to commemorate Major Walter Nowotny, squadron commander (258 victories) of the worlds first Jet Fighter Squadron 007.
Interned at the Vienna Central cemetery.
Both squadron commanders had ancestry as Czech Bohemian/Austrian.
Hermann Siegl German Bohemian
P.S. I do not know where to find out aerial victories of US Navy pilots.Last edited by HKS; Jun 18, 2022, 06:52 AM.2002 TB Motor Trend COTY Blue/White/Full #24737 (One of 291)

Can you go fix it for them?
It may be hard to get parts for a 99 year old radio transmitter that is just a giant Thunderbird Alternator.

Nice plates, guys! Mine is generic, I figure that the Thunderbird emblem on the trunk lid will have to send the message!
Fredrik, my favorite is the P51, I always liked the lines -and the sound, there used to be a guy here who owned one and would fly it periodically around the area.
Nice hat, Hermann!Life without passion is no life at all.

I have had the same license plate in 2 different states, 1st in Oklahoma and now in Arkansas.
Crossing Lake Powell_s.jpg
15AGAIN
The plate number comes for the fact that I was 15 when the 55's came out and I could not buy one, so the 2002 made me 15again.Attached FilesBirds of the 4815AGAIN has been in 48 States and 9 Canadian Provinces. Travelled many miles with great friends-- "Priceless"
