Dang! That's a cool license plate!

Thank you! I hadn't planned on getting a vanity plate, but it was so cheap in Virginia compared with the costs I'd been used to in California and Washington that I couldn't resist. Even then I was only going to get the vanity lettering but wow... I couldn't say no to a plate that features the SR-71!

Oh, so you've been in my neck of the woods, huh? Glad it worked out for you!

That would be my only reason to move to Virginia. The Blackbird is one hot ride.

That is sad...I remember seeing your plates at FCN this year, was cool.

Yeah, I'm bummed at the loss since this was a real winner of an image for me. None of the Kentucky plates on offer were appealing enough for me, but maybe I'll find myself somewhere else in the future that does grab my attention.

NoVA, woot-woot!

Salute!

Yay NoVA furs!

Yes, NoVA! Are you really near Dulles, as so am I!

...with the handicapped "ohmurr" plate!!

Born and raised less than a half an hour away from Dulles airport, but currently going to school in Tampa.

Another Subaru owner! Hey, check out the FA group AWDfurs!

My Pleiades now has 291K on her, and she's still going strong!

As for vanity plates... I've had PA SKYWISE since the late 1980s. *grynz*

I've got very little to complain about with my Forester... it's been running well enough for the past 10 years and is coming up on 160k. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to keep it running with no appreciable loss in quality for another 10 years!

Those are some awesome plates!... Well.. I thought I was going to be all clever and do a little research for your new plates... but then I realized that you were moving to CA or WA, so VA plates wouldn't help at all...so I looked up CA-DMV who offered all of ten plates, one offering "Plate Type: Coastal, Initial Cost: $98.00, Annual Renewal Fee: $78.00" .
So then I looked at the WA-DepartmenntOfLicensing and the only real one of interest would be the 'endangered: orca' plate. But then again... "Cars and trucks: $67.75, Trailers: $55.75, To renew:
$30 special plate fee plus your tab renewal fees (Tab renewal fees vary by location and type of vehicle.)
Note:
$28 of fees go to help the Department of Fish and Wildlife identify and recover Washington’s endangered and threatened species.
Fees listed don’t include the cost of vehicle registration or tab renewal. Some offices may charge an additional service fee." (END QUOTE)

I thought that I would be all clever and find a suitable military or aerospace tag for you, but alas..... You just need to move back to VA so you can have that plate again*joke*. I'm glad to find a fellow aerospace enthusiast. My favorite is the F-14C(scram'A'+ram'B'=high Alt. fighter/bomber'C')
That plate of yours was awesome! Thanks for the show and tell!

Ah, no worries. I've actually already replaced my old license plates with a new one which is the reason why I took this photo once it was removed from the vehicle. Perhaps sometime in the future I'll relocate to a state that has a more personally meaningful plate image choice.

NoVA'ish here. I've moved closer to Winchester now.

cool license plate. I like that Blackbird on there.

Save those?

Oh of course, -they're already in my storage unit right now along with the other license plates I've had since I've been driving. These are the nicest plates I've had though and are definitely a keepsake.

Will you be mounting and displaying these?

Well, one of them is currently decorating my table at the convention. :)
