A Little Research

So you see an airplane and wonder, who owns the thing? Well if it has a United States of America N number go here http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_inquiry.asp, enter the number and viola! Loads of information. This also works for airplanes that need a little work and are parked in the weeds.

On the morbid side when airplanes go down and their accident information is made public this place has load of information. http://www.planecrashinfo.com/ but be aware that thy have the cockpit and tower trans scripts and reading through this stuff can be hard to take.

Also notice that you are safer in an airplane than a car and more so if you are traveling less than 5 miles from home.
