A hard one to fix?

GlennE.Chatfield

This particular T-33 has been around, and going by different c/ns, although if you look at them you can see they are all the same bird, with the old military s/n still part of the c/n (except for the last). Military ID was 53-6091.

Okay, here are the profiles and there are many due to linking in the past:

(I think this will be chronological order of the IDs this plane carried)

N11989

N8077X (no profile for this plane under this number - thankfully!)

N32GB

OY-RUT

N132GB

The original c/n vs s/n is 580-9712

I don't think it's a hard one to fix, Glenn, for me it's impossible.

Three N number listings, all? protected by the auto update, one of which has three profiles each with a different cn.

The easy way would be to delete all profiles except the latest registration and add all the registrations to it in note from, but that may loose any individual history details.

Anyone else please?

I have been looking at this one and it appears to be completly mixed up

details on N Numbers as follows

N32GB, Serial Number 536091GNB89-2, Mode S Code 50666217, Active

N132GB, Serial Number GNB6861998, Mode S Code 50101467, Active

N11989, Serial Number 53-6091 Mode S Code 50050464, sold to unknown

N8077X, no record of being assigned to a T33, current on Beech A36, previous on PA-32

N32GB is ex OY-RUT cn 580-9712 from Airliners.net

and also has N132GB Ex USAF 53-6091, subsequently civilian registered; N11989, N8077X, N32GB, OY-RUT and now N132GB

but planepictures.net has it as N132GB c/n 580-9712 ex OY-RUT and N32GB

airframes.org has no record of N132GB but has N32GB c/n 536091GNB89-2 with no link to any other reg number.

Also shows OY-RUT as active but no c/n

and N11989 c/n 53-6091 reported as sold

N8077X current on Beech A36.

and finally from warbirdregistry.org

EDIT more info

also found a blog with N132GB ex OY-RUT on a ferryflight to new owners from Denmark to Germany dated March 2010

You'll notice the only shot I have of it was when it was still carrying its original registation. I found all the other stuff when I was researchiing what became of it. As you can see, the s/n for N11989 is 53-6091, which is part of the c/n for all but N132GB. 580-9712 is the c/n for 53-6091. Joe Baugher has all that on his link also.

When people rebuild old planes and give a new c/n, especially with this one where the new c/n included the s/n, they really gum up the works!
