The public federal record on N4MF, 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 Glidden Kenneth W, an individual, certificate issued April 15, 2024, expires April 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 25, 1997, 24 years after the 1973 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 2951203 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4MF was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Fredette M R/Fredette S R RV-4 (serial 3805, cancelled March 20, 1996); Folsom Michael C MONI (serial 00229, cancelled November 12, 1992). 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]
