Michael Jordan Takes to the Skies in N239MJ
Diehard fans might recognize the tail number of Jordan’s Gulfstream jet: N239MJ. This does represent a change from his prior registration of #N236MJ. That registration was linked to his basketball number “23” and “6” was the number of championships he won, while “MJ” stands for the man himself. Your guess as to the swapping of the 6 to 9 is as good as mine! Well, probably better, actually.
