The public federal record on N21467, 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 Sanderson Alan R, an individual, certificate issued September 13, 2023, expires September 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial F8B-2081 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N21467 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Aeronca 7AC (serial 32R-7887213, cancelled June 18, 1979); Convair 440 (serial 467, cancelled January 17, 1972). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N21467. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
