What are the fonts for repainting the serial numbers on general aviation aircraft such as the HTAI Cessna's or Piper's? I know it's not exactly military but some military aircaft carry these markings also.

Loads of fonts are used on civilian aircraft for the registrations.

Useful fonts are Helvetica, Blockschrift, Farmarks, Amarillo USAF and Octin College.
