Narrative:

In 12/88 I learned that an aircraft owned and flown by our group had the registration revoked in 1982. The people responsible at that time are no longer in the club. The officer in charge now has applied for and received a registration effective in 6/88. My purpose in writing to you is to state that I have flown the aircraft numerous times west/O any knowledge that the registration and the air worthiness was revoked. The aircraft has had an annual every year by a licensed a & east mechanic. It is maintained in excellent condition and as far as a pilot can tell, it is a legal aircraft. The registration and air worthiness certificate are posted in the aircraft and the logbooks are kept up to date. The aircraft is an small aircraft hangared at columbia air field, columbia, il.
