Alfa Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Does somebody know why there is no 13 available as aircraft number ? Of course - bad luck you know ;) . Cheers, - JJ. JJ
ALDEGA Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Same reason why many American buildings don't have a 13th floor.
TekaTeka Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Haha...Until now I didn't know I couldn't select 13 as ON-BOARD# in LockOn. ED's people are really superstitious.:D TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.
Force_Feedback Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 You know, on some airliners there is no row 13, on some other there was and the only survivors of some crash were in that row :p And they say all those guys screaming allahu akbar and praying 5 times a day are crazy, jeesh. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Guest IguanaKing Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 We used to have a 172N under our care for avionics that had the N-number 1313F. I'm kinda glad its not here anymore, because it definitely earned the name we gave it...Double-unlucky f***er. It crashed at least twice that I can remember due to engine failure, one which was instructor induced at a MUCH-too-low altitude.
theGozr Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Well 13 mean also good luck.. 88 is the same is japan i think and 77 Fly it like you stole it..

Hmmm.... it's relative how unlucky an aircraft is that manages to crash twice ;) Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Guest IguanaKing Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Heh...I guess that's true. Nobody died either of those times, so what you say is spot on. :D I can't quite remeber the N-number of the plane I survived a crash in, but it ended in 252. Maybe we have some numerologists on the board that can shed some light on this phenomenon. :D
hitman Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Same reason why many American buildings don't have a 13th floor. Its the Matrix I tell yah!!!
Stealth_HR Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Well 13 mean also good luck.. 88 is the same is japan i think and 77 Could be, I know that in Japan, 42 and 24 can be called unlucky - being pronounced shi-ni and ni-shi - either "till the death" or "two deaths", respectively. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Real men fly ground attack :pilotfly: where EVERYTHING wants a piece of you :D
Maximus_G Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Yup, single "4" means death in the Far East counties. Not in Japan only. No floor #4 in many buildings. BTW, 1+3 = 4 %)
Pilotasso Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Ancient romans despized numbers 15, 16 and 17 after their legions lost against the german hordes in a major battle. :) .
Ice Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 13 squared = 169. Definitely unlucky for some :sorcerer:
Guest IguanaKing Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Heh...I know that 1369 is a bad number in the Marine Corps.
