The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 3, 2011, 44 years after the 1967 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 67-14905 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N3J was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Thompson Gyrocopter 1 (serial A1, cancelled September 28, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
