The first plane with this N-number was a Cessna 150H belonging to the Clark Air Base Aero Club in the Philippines. The FAA N-number database simply lists it as "cancelled", but in fact, it was destroyed in a collision with trees in 1973 during an attempted go-around by a solo student (pilot survived with minor injuries):

The second plane was my Warrior II, from manufacture in 1979 until export to Canada in 1988. I was relieved to find no accidents for it in the database.

The third plane was a Raven RX6, registered in California in 1995, and deregistered in 1998, listed as "Destroyed" (no NTSB report found).

I guess my plane was the lucky one of the three.
