The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 11, 2022, 27 years after the 1995 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 20800245 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N85WL was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: North American SNJ-5B (serial 51977, cancelled February 15, 2011). 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]
