That's a great catch.

Please allow me a question without getting upset. Are you sure that your _first_ search didn't contain any key stroke errors? Did you just do one search? Did you save to disk the results so that you can go back and verify that you didn't make a key stroke error in your query?

I don't mean to be insulting, I'm just trying to rule out an obvious error. I've _often_ done searches and gotten puzzling results until I've reviewed my query and found some unexpected typo.

I'm sure. When I saw the story on AOPA and noticed the registration, or "N-number", I copied it to the clipboard. First I went to the Aircraft - Registry database and pasted the registration into the search. Thats where I got the information on ownership, serial number, etc. Then I pasted the number into the FAA database. There was nothing there.

In addition, some-one else here verified that the news reports from Monday indicated that there was no incident history on this aircraft. I'm not the only one who came up with nothing on Monday. Every reporter who's covered an air disaster knows about this database, and if there was anything there on Monday, you would have heard about it then...beleive me.
