I think it's time for a fun thread.
Do you have such a plate or have you seen one?
I'll start it off. My plate is "Wing It" with a plate frame that says,"My Other Car is an Airplane". I've had this plate since 1984, the first year personal plates were allowed.
My wife had the N number on her plates. Why she asked? What was your plate # before (no idea). What is it now? She also had a "I'd rather be flying my Navion" frame.
One of my PPG buddies had "HI FLYR" as his license plate. I've also seen "PPGER". I got my last medical from a doc whose plate is "FAA AME".
Virginia aviation license plate with my N number. I figured it was the only way I would ever remember my license plate number. Now if I could just convince Virginia to let me use my pilot certificate number as my drivers license number...
For a while I had a tag that read FLY4FUN but the state jacked up the fees for “vanity tags” and I gave it up.
Although I have since sold the airplane (after 13 years of great flying), my vanity plate still is RV8BLDR
They've got a nice aviation plate in Washington state:

I didn't get custom text on mine, but got in on it early enough to get a fairly low number. But saw someone the other day with one displaying the name of a local airpark.

Nothing on the plate but the license plate holder says "USAF Retired".
I have a plate liner that I had made up which says, "Caution, flying ultralites produces airgasms". Don't know if it was the first but I've had it since 1992.
I had FRE2FLY and FLY4FUN for a long time, but for the past decade+ and currently have AV8N247 ... inexpensive (and there are a lot) in Kansas.
I have "PA18 CUB" on my truck. Used to have "J5A CUB" on a car when we owned a J5.
One of the more subtle aviation plates I've seen belonged to Donna King (may she rest in peace) while she was a controller at O'Hare:
Her plate said, "ORD CZI"
She said she could always tell when a pilot spotted it-- they'd give a honk and a thumbs-up!
I belong to EAA Chapter 75 and fly an Airbike. Illinois only allows 6 alpha characters on their personalized plates, hence no "E" on Airbike.

Nice plates, and nice airplane. There are a couple Air Bikes in the area.Quote:

When one applies for a vanity plate, the form has blocks for three options. If the first is taken or is unacceptable, they look at your second, and so on.
One man couldn't come up with a third option. So he just wrote "NO PLATE" in the third block, meaning, "don't give me a vanity plate."
Yep. They gave him a license plate saying, "NO PLATE."
Pretty funny at first. Then he started getting tickets from all over the state, from cops who had abandoned cars towed because they lacked a license plate.....
