Why Cover Your N Number?

[gotWXdagain]

Because you don't want the protesters you're "observing on behalf of law enforcement" at a protest site to find out who owns your helicopter.

Yes, that was a thing:

FedEx in FLL painted over their MD-10 pretty fast after the accident there. They also have a 727 over there on the ramp that was painted over and BCAD put down the side of it. From the airline standpoint I get it. It is bad press and a bad image to remind your paying pax the plane across the field was in an accident. Kind of like negative advertising. For the N number on small planes I would speculate it is done to try and keep the media at bay for a little beat before they start beating down the door to talk your wife/husband.

make them work a little bit to find the info

just my .02 worth...

Or you can do it right so there is no need for paint and garbage bags...

BCAD stands for Broward County Aviation Department. That's the airport's plane, not FedEx's.

When they retired them, FedEx gave all their 727s to airports all over the country to be used for firefighting and/or hostage drills. They were worth more as a tax write off than parts and scrap metal.

IFL group bought a couple of the supers. Great machine! More Power is never a bad thing.
