Geo,
Thanks for the lead. I took your advice and checked with them. There was no 43-48225 Serial number in their system so I emailed them and received this reply:
Ms Patricia,
I have researched the FAA aircraft records and can not find the serial number you have given. I also tried to cross reference with the names you have given below and have found nothing. It might have been a military aircraft and never registered with the US Civil Aircraft Registry.
Sorry.
SS
So I guess I need to see if I can find someone connected with the last known owner.
Thanks you have given me some good help just unfortunate that this plane fell off the face of the earth after 86. I hope that does not mean it was destroyed. I will keep searching though.
Kind regards,
Patricia
