under Section 21.191(d) or 21.191(g) for operation as an exhibition aircraft or as an
amateur-built aircraft and which has
the same external configuration as an

aircraft built at least 30 years ago may
be operated without displaying marks
in accordance with SectionSection 45.21 and 45.23
through 45.33 if:
(1) It displays in accordance with
Section 45.21(c) marks at least 2 inches high
on each side of the fuselage or vertical
tail surface consisting of the Roman
capital letter  - N -  followed by:
(i) The U.S. registration number of
the aircraft; or

limited; or  - X - , experimental) followed
by the U.S. registration number of the
aircraft; and
(2) It displays no other mark that begins with the letter  - N -  anywhere on
the aircraft, unless it is the same mark
that is displayed under paragraph (b)(1)
of this section.
(c) No person may operate an aircraft
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this section - 
(1) In an ADIZ or DEWIZ described in
Part 99 of this chapter unless it temporarily bears marks in accordance with
SectionSection 45.21 and 45.23 through 45.33;
(2) In a foreign country unless that
country consents to that operation; or
(3) In any operation conducted under
Part 121, 133, 135, or 137 of this chapter.

aircraft, it is impossible for a person to

45.23 through 45.33, he may apply to the
FAA for a different marking procedure.
