The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 10, 1986, 12 years after the 1974 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]

N13008 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca C-3 (serial A-223, cancelled March 15, 1941). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
