The public federal record on N80660, 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 Grubbs Frank Dale, an individual, certificate issued February 27, 2025, expires February 29, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 25, 2008, 67 years after the 1941 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 82473 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N80660 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 172 (serial 172-66694, cancelled December 29, 1977); Globe GC-1B (serial 1065, cancelled March 9, 1949). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
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]
