Re: [cactuswings 2787] Kingman Puzzle

Agree with what you say re not changing painted on registrations, but the new one is on a different aircraft!

It's the same in the UK. Aircraft for parting out get registered in the USA because the process of selling parts from them is simplified.

Sometimes they don't change the reg's, especially when they're going to be scrapped.  For AAY the N_PT reg has generally meant they are for parts. It seems they don't bother to change it if it's not going to fly again.

Some may say 'What?? - Only ONE???', but that's all I have so far from a visit on 11th Jan.

Spanair's MD-82 SE-RJH c/n 53165 (c/n 'confirmed' on airframes.org) is recorded as going to N545PT.
One example http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-md80-53165.htm
The FAA confirms N545PT as c/n 53165

But see these two shots:-

and

I accept that sticky tape registrations may not be the most reliable of systems, so is the N545PT here wrong?

Or did SE-RJH not become N545PT (Obviously it never got re-painted or stickered anyway)
