Final damage tally from inspections and registration with personalized plates for me and a Stop Child Abuse plate for my wife: $521.98

Would the gates and the passenger access be worth buying the entirety of the distressed assets (a shade under $109MM, BTW) to temporarily operate Airbuses and Q400's? Obviously Gary Kelly didn't think it was a good idea, so why would Boyd come up with a theory like that?

All of the plates that I wanted at the time that I first started looking into getting plates had something to do with the job in the Air Force, and I couldn't come up with a combination of letters related to the job that would have not drawn the attention of the FBI. My initial favorite idea was BOMBLDR ("bomb builder") - :eek: My radio callsign was another idea - AMMO 38. The knowledge that BOM is the nomenclature by which bombing cases are referred to by the FBI didn't help either...the internal designator at the Bureau for Oklahoma City was OKBOM, for example. It was only after I left the job that I came up with lettering that would not draw suspicion, and since I wasn't on the job anymore, it was pointless. In retrospect, I could have done PAVEWAY, PGM GUY, AIM-9, AIM-120, F16BOOM, or any number of inside references that only someone on the job would comprehend...but I was younger and dumber then.

I have a geekery thing with vanity plates....I like seeing them on the road and trying to figure out ones that aren't obvious. Here's a huge dose of useless information: noted wildlife/bird photographer Scott Bourne has a vanity plate: BOKEH.

Ahhh, yeah. The math works out a bit better now. Didn't know about that one, I've always gone to great pains to maintain TX residency, even when I worked in Denver for 3 years. ;)
