Aircraft N number

Where would I look to find who is/was the owner of a power
plane ( small side by side seating "Piper" looking ) seen
in a movie?
N97422
Any Ideas? Thanks.

I tried this site, Lew:
http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/
but it just indicates that that N number is being held. Probably not
what you wanted...

The number is reserved but not now assigned to an
aircraft.

When (what year) was the movie produced? I can tell you who owned it
if you can tell me what year (or even better what month) it was
filmed. Won't be until Tuesday because Monday is a federal holiday.

I believe it was 1954. It was a Sci Fi movie. A friend was
showing several movies to me and this one had a C47 in it
as well. I got to wondering if I could find out just who
owned it. Can't remember the name of the movie right now
but could ask him tomorrow. In my opinion there was some
bad Sci in the Sci Fi but that is to be expected in any
thing from Hollywood. :-(

Back in the late 40's I flew a PIPER CHIEF, but I will have to look in
old log books for the number.
Not a big production run.I thought it was nice. If someone has the
number reserved, it could be a restoration job in progress.
With some effort, you might find old pilots that have logged the same
aircraft, It's been probably about 60 years since built.
Old flying clubs would be a likely path of ownership. May have been a
part of an estate. If it was in a movie, the airplane was probably in
So. Calif at that time. It could have also been a project of Long
Beach Poly High School. I bought a T Craft BC12 D from them about
1957. Let us know how your search progresses, it could be educational.

In French but lists a Stinson under that reg number,
might help a bit.
