The public federal record on N88DF, 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 Freeman David R, an individual, certificate issued April 26, 1968, expires May 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 26, 1949, 19 years after the 1930 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 1 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N88DF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 421A (serial 421A0084, cancelled January 17, 2018). 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]
1 NTSB record under N88DF: Accident on July 11, 2010 at Tulsa, OK: fatal, substantial damage (3 fatal). Details below. [4]
