I've just received a "past due" invoice for the purchase of 250
gallons of Jet A from an FBO a thousand miles away on 20 May. The
invoice includes my name and address and the N-number of my airplane.
The trouble is: I'm not a jet pilot; haven't been to that city in
thirty years; the airplane with that N-number is still a-building in
my garage and it won't burn kerosene when it flies, anyway.
The airplane database is public knowledge. Use a corporation if
you want anonymity.
States allow the public to find the registered owners of corporations (or
members of LLC). Some states make this really easy to do online.
