The public federal record on N302CB, 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 Gordon David W, a co-owned, certificate issued June 24, 2026, expires June 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 8, 2005, 65 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 4104 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N302CB was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Globe GC-1B (serial 231, cancelled July 27, 1992); Bellanca 17-30A (serial 79-30911, cancelled July 2, 1980). 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]
