The public federal record on N17C, 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 Wild Blue Aero Squadron LLC, an LLC, certificate issued July 19, 2016, expires July 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for research and development; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N17C according to the deregistered file. [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]
