The public federal record on N35E, 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 Qualitair LLC Trustee, an LLC, certificate issued May 21, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 15, 1956, 19 years after the 1937 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 D-17R-167 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N35E was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lockheed VEGA 1 (serial 37, cancelled October 3, 1931). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
