The public federal record on N75140, 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 Friends Of Army Aviation-Ozark, a corporation, certificate issued July 18, 2017, expires July 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 27, 2018, 47 years after the 1971 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 71-20123 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N75140 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: North American BC1A (serial 79-3998, cancelled July 19, 1954). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
