I feel your pain. Seattle Tracon retired N104DD almost lost it too!

Yup, they got me. (and I work for these toads). 

Have had a reserved "N" number for years now. Every year they send a notice for renewal, and I promptly renew it. Easy huh?

So getting my paperwork in order to register this life long project, I start looking for the current reservation form. Only one I can find expired June 11th 2012. Hmm can that be right? I didn't receive a renewal form.... 

Yup, I never received a renewal form and the "N" number has expired. It still shows up in the FAA computers as being reserved for me, but they won't let me have it. I have to fill out the paperwork and request it again. They swear that they will notice that I am requesting my own "N" number back and that it will not be rejected.. Yeah, Right. 
Thanks for the help guys!

Note: Don't trust the FAA to remind you to renew your reserved "N" number. When you get it... put it on your calender, or wherever you put important notices!
