Unlike what the name might imply, the FAA aircraft records aren’t an old dusty building with filing cabinets after filing cabinets full of airplane documents. They are, however, a database with all the information about registered aircraft that has been submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration. After all, you register your aircraft for the Federal…
As soon as you saw that first picture of that airplane on a website, you knew it was going to be the one for you. The plane looked pristine, the details seemed to fit what you wanted, and the price was right within your budget. You heard yourself screaming, “sold” at your computer screen and…
