Today I was at Schiphol (EHAM)
and I saw an Northwest DC-10-30 with
the serial N44JC, I looked in my serial
book but it wasn’t in the book? can anybody help/tell me
something about this serial?
And I saw an Continental 767-222? with the serial
N67157? and that one was also not in the books!
Kind Regards

RE: Serial question
The reason you didn’t see the CO 767 in the book is because it is too new. I assume you are using a civil aircraft markings publication of some description.
The problem with books like these is the fact that they go out of date too fast. New airliners are being delivered all the time, although the airline will usually reserve a particular registration prefix in anticipation of new aircraft, in europe anyway.
The North American register is difficult though, airlines often change the registration last minute and think nothing of changing an existing aircraft reg’n, which may be a reason why your NW DC-10 didn’t show.
