The public federal record on N85308, 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 May 15, 1995, 49 years after the 1946 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N85308 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mitchell Aircraft LIGHTING P-38 (serial L104, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
