Valid registration to Washoe County Sheriff Dept, a government body, certificate issued October 29, 2018, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
