The public federal record on N54602, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Military Aircraft Restoration CORP, a corporation, certificate issued April 4, 1984, expires June 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Special flight permit certificate for ferry flight for repairs, alterations, maintenance or storage; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 43-49819 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N54602 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Boeing A75N1 (serial 75-1110, cancelled February 16, 1954). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N54602. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
