The public federal record on N25673, 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 Lone Star Flight Museum, a corporation, certificate issued February 24, 2004, expires January 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 5, 1964, 24 years after the 1940 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 2213 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N25673 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-38-112 (serial 3881A0047, cancelled date not given). 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 N25673: Accident on July 7, 1984 at Bryce, UT: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
