Do you see the big black letters on the trikes in the photos above? (Click on photos to enlarge.) Each ultralight is identified by those letters. They're on the outside and also on the instrument panel. The letters are like a car's license plate. The pilots identify themselves at airports by using these letters. The Operation Migration ultralights are registered in Canada, so they start with "C." The "I" means it's an ultralight. The other letters are different on every plane.

Who's flying each of the ultralights in our photos? Here's how to find out:
1. Click on each photo and write down the letters on each trike.

2. Then click here and read about the identifier on Joe's ultralight. You will also find out about the letters on Brooke's, Richard's and Chris's planes.

3. (See answers. How did you do?)
