The Annex Seven of the International Civil Aviation Organization specifies nationality markings for every country’s registered aircraft. Many of these markings begin with a single letter – such as “N” for the United States of America. Others begin with letter-number or multiple letter combinations. This group of photos contains letter-first combinations for the prefix of an aircraft’s registration identification. After the aircraft’s registration, we’ve added the country in which the aircraft is registered in. In the coming weeks, we’ll look at almost one hundred registrations from different countries… how many have you seen?
