Question about USA registers

[multiprops]

Is it possible to track/know buyer of a Lodestar re-imported into the USA in 7 of july 1953? Lockheed Lodestar type 18-26, Fabrication number 018-2007, registered in the USA with airframe number N9949F? This can be done or those registers/data are impossible to track down today in the USA?

Thank you for alll the help you can.

Found some original info from Portugal.

Found an old photo of her

Some other past info
She was formerly owned by Air Afrique with the reg of F-ARTG.

By the way, it looks like she became a Portuguese aircraft via being impounded in Portugal during the war considering she was French still in 1940.

By the way, you can search N#s in the FAA registry so I searched N9949F, all that comes up is this:
http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... rtxt=9949f

Which tells me 1) The Lodestar could be getting these numbers at some point since they were de-registered. 2) The fact that they were not re-registered tells me the plane is not flying at all. That could mean a few things like a museum bought here and stuffed her in the back hole of their storage lot, some poor sap bought her and ran her into the ground in some God for-saken

heheheh! well, yes, it was a glorious quest. BUT (there is a small detail that does not match): I had reached the same exact sites you mention, and

Ah, so the Portuguese operator got it through legitimate means. I had this idea that since France capitulated and it was putsing around North Africa, some sap more or less stole it! In hind sight, the partial-ownership between airlines would support the fact that the tail reg numbers are well established. If it was impounded that would probably not be so clear
