The public federal record on N8728A, 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 Fournerat Kevin T, an individual, certificate issued May 21, 2021, expires May 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N8728A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech A35 (serial D-2150, cancelled March 27, 1952). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
