A welded steel-tube frame carries the loads, with aluminium (and some fibreglass) skins over it. A crop sprayer and fire bomber: welded steel-tube fuselage under aluminium skins.

The public federal record on N804MA, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to New Frontier Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 16, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 27, 2007, 11 years after the 1996 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 802-0026 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N804MA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Boeing 727-225 (serial 22435, cancelled August 21, 2003). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]
