Hope I remeber this right. The Click and Clack Parallel Parking Method:
Pull all the way past the spot. As you start to back up, when the rear wheels are next to the other vehicle rear bumper, turn wheel full right.
As your front wheel are next to the other cars rear bumper start to turn opposite.
It has always worked for me.
Of course I see the Allentown method every day:
Pull up next to spot.
Turn on flashers.

I can't say mine was ugly. As a matter of fact, I tell everyone I actually had one of those trophy wives...........it just wasn't for first place.

I'm just going to ignore any further comments from you that contain the words Tail Numbers.
I will suggest that you do what your buddy OC did and look up 14 CFR 45 and try to understand what it says.

I just don't like being called a dirty name like "Turbs friend."
Besides, FT Turbs can't deny anything, he is 99.999% of the time GUILTY of anything but wo%^ing.

If it was registered in the U.S., the letter "N" would be the prefix letter.
My guess is that airplane is an amateur build airplane in the Experimental category.
See post #48.
