The public federal record on N79K, 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 Mabry William L, an individual, certificate issued January 6, 1997, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 6, 1956, 10 years after the 1946 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 1398 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N79K was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Sikorsky S-76A (serial 760098, cancelled August 16, 1988); Bensen B-8M (serial RK1, cancelled November 7, 1978); Bird BK (serial 2010-69, cancelled April 14, 1948). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
