It was in the Smith/Karner, Pietenpol hangar at Brodhead. It was on one of the Sky Scout projects there. Don't think ether project has flown yet.

Members of the list: I recently logged onto the FAA's inquiry web page to research an N-number I would like to have on my Pietenpol. The n-number is 1963K. Upon further searching.....it comes back: This aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation. Please contact the Aircraft Registration Branch at 1-866-762-9434 for additional information. Upon further research I find this number registered to this company: --------------------------------- N1963K is Assigned Assigned/Registered Aircraft --> Aircraft Description Serial Number 4690 Type Registration Corporation Manufacturer Name LUSCOMBE Certificate Issue Date None Model 8A Status Revoked Type Aircraft Fixed Wing Single-Engine Type Engine Reciprocating Pending Number Change None Dealer No Date Change Authorized None Mode S Code 50300500 MFR Year 1947 Fractional Owner NO --------------------------------- Registered Owner Name INDEPENDENT DRILLING CO Street 1114 INSUROMEDIC City DALLAS State TEXAS Zip Code 75200 County DALLAS Country UNITED STATES --------------------------------- Airworthiness Engine Manufacturer CONT MOTOR Classification None Engine Model C85 SERIES A/W Date None --------------------------------- Other Owner Names None --------------------------------- Temporary Certificate None --------------------------------- Fuel Modifications None --------------------------------- --> According to FAA, it (being the number) has not been registered for several (many) years. All the searching I have done to this point hits a dead end. Hence the principle of the matter, time investigating, and resultant questions.....Does the FAA just let this number hang in space forever? Can or IS there any way to find out how has the airplane to ask for transfer of registration number? Is there any other methods one can suggest? In closing, I know I can just apply for another number. I just find it somewhat dumb if these registered numbers become "limbo" for years when they could be utilized. Or.....maybe I just don't get it! Ken Heide Fargo,ND --------------------------------- Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Yahoo!

When I applied for a number, it was just my Mentor's initials at the end, and I asked for any numbers in the middle available. Now I fly NX140DL. It's really up to you if you want to persue your number. To me, you should just go for flying. Good Luck!
