This airframe was allocated N2733K by Cessna Aircraft Company at Wichita Kansas and had an airworthiness date of 01-03-1979. It was certified on 30-04-1979 to Prulease Inc of Boston Massachusetts.
They re-registered it in late 1987 to N75C with it ending up with Consumer Power Co of Jackson Michigan in September of 1997.
Scott Olson took it over as N775CD from 16-12-1997 and retained it until it was cancelled from the US register on 10-04-2017 with close to 10,800 airframe hours.
