NC-39227 Registration information

[Lotus54]

Hello,
My Dad (very recently passed away) took his training and testing in a TaylorCraft NC-39227. 1946- Seattle area
I still have a his original logbook, which is interesting. He also flew a friends floatplane out lake union from time to time (he couldn't remember what it was)

I was looking for any information on this same aircraft. I was originally hoping to show him what happened to it, but I'm still interested in any case.

I couldn't find it in any registration cross-reference (old style to new).


Thanks
Mark

The registration was cancelled back in 1956 while owned in Alaska. See here: http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinqu...umbertxt=39227 Scroll down to the last aircraft for details.

Re: NC-39227 Registration information

1956 was when the new permanent Airworthiness Certificates were issued. It could have met its end any time between 1948 and 1956. Accessible NTSB accident records only go back to 1962, so really no way to find out what happened to it, but its long gone, as are thousands of others.

edit: I have NC39244, built on Nov 1, 1945 according to the data plate. NC39227 would likely have been built shortly before then. These 1945 airplanes were built from left-over 1941-42 parts that were in inventory when WWII started and production stopped.

Thanks so much for the information.
Too bad it is gone, but I’m sure a lot are.
