Hi Folks,

I've taken a picture of a Bell JetRanger:

I was curious to identify the owner. I wrote FAA and provided a picture but
they were unable to identify it. They said:

"I researched all the aircraft that ever carried N73A and it appears that
N73A was never assigned to a Bell Helicoter. If you are able provide a
serial number, I may be able to assist you further.

In answer to your second question: yes, all civilian aircraft must display a
registration number, whether it be a United States registration number
(which begins with "N") or a foreign registration mark (which may be a
combination of letters or numbers, depending on that country's registration
system.)"

Should there be an "N" in front of the "73A"? Could there be a small "N"
number on top of the "73A"? I'm baffled (my normal state of affairs) :-).
What's the best way to identify ownership of this beast?



The N number is N67641 and the following link takes you to all the
info on ownership..
