FAA Aircraft Records
Need help accessing the FAA Official Aircraft Record. I have an old cd from 2003 and want to see the current record. I've tried the FAA's My Access with out any luck. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Very interesting reading ... Most 120's and 140's have been wrecked, many just months after they were built.

Ain't that a fact..........
A hard life.........no?
I worked with an older IA back in the early 1980's in Saginaw Michigan........his 120's first airframe log book entry......
........."Replaced both wings due to hitting fixed objects"..........
My personal airplane (been in the family since the 1960's) got destroyed in a wind storm.
Occasionally you'll find one without damage..
Thanks for posting the current resource for getting aircraft history, I was un-aware of that option.
