Guys...
I'm trying..really.... I zoomed in on the photo as best as I could and the N
Number comes back as what I posted.. either i'm reading it wrong (and
apparently I am) or the FAA database is incorrect... That's the primary tool
I use for ID.
I'm coming up with N30580. It's super hard to make out the info when zooming
in on the original pic.. anyway what got me is it is listed as being owned
and registered at a Daytonal Beach address...since that is where spruce
creek is located... well..... I bit...
I must be reading the N number incorrectly...
Thanks all for Pimping me yet again... and to think I was TRYING to be
careful about it this time.... sigh

How about N305BD -

Registered to New York, but still closer than Seattle or Neptune.

The military serial - 112386 (51-12386) - belongs to an L-19 / O-1,
whether it actually belongs to ~this~ airframe or not... Also not
sure about the 'OE-1', O-1E would make scads more sense, though this
one seems to be an O-1D.
