This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Ouch! Although it does seem odd he would go through the effort to register something he has been in posession of for some time which he was intending to scrap.

it might be more to do with the FAA updating their (badly kept) records

That is what I was thinking at first, but I thought the FAA was catching up on the expired registrations and turning them into cancellations. I don't think they would be registering something unless they were prompted to by the owner.

In Australia two Neptunes are flying as warbirds. I saved the first one [former RAAF A89-273] from the scrapper in 1978. The second came from the fire dump in Tahiti and is ex-French Navy. It was rescued by HARS who now operate both,,,,,, :drink3: check out their website.
