Airworthiness Cert Still Valid?

I just want to clarify:

The plane was not destroyed. For some reason, it got de-registered. It's
only been a paper chase. I'm not trying to minimize it, since I know that
logs are "just paper" but worth gold.

I was just seeing if this had happened to anyone else - having a new a/w
cert issued, and whether that created "obstacles" in the future.


The law says the airworthiness certificate is not in force if
the airplane is not airworthy. And it's not airworthy if it's out of
annual, or has a flat tire, or the logs aren't in order, and so on.
Having the paper certificate guarantees nothing.

My 69 Arrow has a new A/W dated 2000 because I bought it from a
Canadian owner. It had a valid Canadian cert and a complete set of
logs, so was no problem to re-register in the U.S. As someone above
pointed out, there can be several reasons to de-register - some
perfectly valid, others crooked.

I think the logs are the critical issue.

I think the airplane is the critical issue. I swear, some people would fly
and pay top dollar for the worst piece of un-airworthy crap as long as the
paperwork looked good. They then complain about the untold thousands in
repairs it takes to get the plane to pass its next annual.
