Here are the aircraft believed to be “complete”, not limited just to the airworthy aircraft. I am using this term so I don’t eliminate display and museum aircraft (or aircraft out of annual) that are not currently airworthy. I am posting by Bureau Number, as the bureau number doesn’t change, even when aircraft cross borders as N45091 / C-FNMW did recently.
As the fleet page has gotten long (Yay!), I have added a quick cross reference guide from the registration number. If you are looking for a particular N-number, you can consult this list to find the Bureau number: Fleet Cross Reference 4-2014
