The public federal record on N6502C, 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 Images Aloft INC, a corporation, certificate issued June 10, 2010, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 6576 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6502C was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Cessna 210N (serial 21063904, cancelled September 11, 2006); Piper PA-28-161 (serial 28-7816429, cancelled September 12, 1978); Lockheed 1049H-82 (serial 4164, cancelled December 27, 1967).
