Admittedly this is a dork idea for a thread but I thought it might be interesting to see the meaning or story, if any, behind some of the N numbers out there.

I few that come to mind where I work:

Mesa Airlines:
N###MJ = Mesa Jet or Mesa Junk
N###FJ = Freedom Jet
N###LR = Larry Risley (late founder of Mesa)
N###BR = Previous ACA (Blue Ridge)

Major, Regional, Cargo, Frac, etc feel free to join.

The point is not to just name them..but to explain how Horizon came up with "QX"..instead of HZ or HN or something more fitting to the name.
