The public federal record on N8061R, 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 Gordon Benny B, an individual, certificate issued November 10, 2023, expires November 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial RLH20014169 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
