The public federal record on N1386C, 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.
Valid registration to Neptune Aviation Services INC, a corporation, certificate issued September 13, 1993, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 30, 2004, 50 years after the 1954 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 128422 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1386C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-18A-135 (serial 18-2639, cancelled January 6, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
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]
1 NTSB record under N1386C: Accident on June 26, 2010 at Broomfield, CO: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Lockheed P2V-5 · operated under PUBU
The pilot’s failure to follow published emergency procedures by taxiing to the parking ramp with a known hydraulic system failure. Contributing to the accident was the co-pilot’s improper selection of the bypass position on the emergency nose gear extension system, which shut off emergency hydraulic system pressure to the brakes, and a ruptured hydraulic line, which resulted in a total loss of the main hydraulic system pressure.
