Personalized Tail Numbers

I took this picture on the ramp in St. Louis the other day shortly before McCain's plane arrived. This is the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Challenger jet. If you look closely at the tail number (click on the picture for a large version) you will see it is N247WE.

Tail numbers are basically license plate numbers for airplanes and companies can request personalized plates such as this one. Have you figured it out? The "N" just means it is a U.S. registered aircraft, but the 247WE means 24/7 (twenty four hours a day/seven days a week) wrestling entertainment.

Another example would be the Nike corporate jet....Tail number N1KE
