The Annex Seven of the International Civil Aviation Organization specifies nationality markings for every country’s registered aircraft. Many of these markings begin with a single letter – such as “N” for the United States of America. Others begin with letter-number or multiple letter combinations. This group of photos contains letter-number combinations for the prefix of an aircraft’s registration identification. After the aircraft’s registration, we’ve added the country in which the aircraft is registered in. In the coming weeks, we’ll look at almost one hundred registrations from different countries… how many have you seen?

Assignment and Content Editor, writer and photographer A New Englander all of my life, I've lived in New Hampshire since 1981. My passion for all things aviation began at a very early age, and I coupled this with my interest of photography during college in the late 1970s. I spent 35 years in the air traffic control industry, and concurrently, enjoyed my aviation photography and writing adventures, which continue today. I've been quite fortunate to have been mentored by some generous and gifted individuals. I enjoy contributing to this great site and working with some very knowledgeable and equally passionate aviation followers.
