The public federal record on N80450, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 1, 2008, 14 years after the 1994 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation.
