The airplane is more than 30 years old, so qualifies for the small N-Number. I always find it odd that the FAA has this rule. (but glad they do) I could understand if it was something like "All aircraft built prior to 1970" or something like that, but instead the rule is 30 years old or older" If their goal is to get rid of the little numbers, then the rule is counterproductive, since every year, more airplanes are eligible.
