I have been looking for a Warrior and look up the tail numbers on the
database. The owners are not the same as I am told. Why is this?
The database typically takes several months to be updated. So one of
a few things could be happening.
3. The database is accurate, and the plane is owned by someone else.
Occasionally, you hear stories of stolen planes being sold by the
stealing party.

4. The person offering you the Warrior is actually a broker, and not the
owner of the plane. There are scumbag brokers out there who find planes
for sale and then list them without the owner's permission, and once
you're interested *then* they'll go and negotiate a commission from the
owner. Although these guys usually try and prevent you from discovering
the plane's real N number until they've negotiated with the owner.
