The public federal record on N120US, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Anderson Abruzzo Intl Balloon Museum Foundation, a corporation, certificate issued September 1, 2023, expires September 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 1, 2009, 24 years after the 1985 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1120 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N120US was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Airbus Industrie A320-214 (serial 1286, cancelled January 17, 2006). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N120US. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
