The public federal record on N666, 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 Cahners Kyle F, a partnership, certificate issued May 22, 2023, expires May 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 15, 1991, 36 years after the 1955 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 G-264 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N666 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Douglas A-26B (serial 28033, cancelled August 12, 1964); Waco 9 (serial 256, cancelled September 15, 1940). 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]
1 NTSB record under N666: Accident on February 22, 2014 at Hollister, CA: serious injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
