The public federal record on N234, 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 Mid Atlantic Air Museum, a corporation, certificate issued September 17, 2014, expires September 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate, dated March 14, 1956, consistent with the 1956 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1-070 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
