We've had a chance to review the records, and we'd like to learn more about one aircraft in particular. (I've pasted your notes on it below.) From our conversation, it sounds like the best next step is to contact the title companies involved. Do you have contacts at Insured Aircraft Title Service Inc. and Aero Records and Title Co.? If not, I'll just give them a call.
