"Normally, we register our aircraft in sequence, so that Star 5 was registered as 255SD -– "SD' for 'Sheriff's Department' -- Star 6 was 266SD, and so forth. However, we asked and received permission to register our new Star 8 as 288JK; JK standing for Joe and Kevin. It allows us to say that Joe and Kevin are onboard for every flight."
