As an innocent student pilot but with experience buying vehicles other than airplanes, and having done at least some research on how to buy an airplane, I asked the seller if 24F had damage history. He said NO. After buying the airplane I did a search and found two NTSB reports. Upon confronting the previous owner I was informed that these do not constitute "damage history" even though the nose wheel collapsed buckling the firewall at which point the plane was sent out for repairs and paint, etc. Also, a wing tip had been repaired, another NTSB report.
I find it strange that this type of reported "damage" is not officially considered "damage" and hence the plane can be advertised NDH.
