Anyone know anything about N55FE?

This is a long shot, but I'm inspired by @Rmag's thread here.

In the mid-80s, my father owned a share of N55FE, a 1965 M20E.  Long before I took any formal flight training, he introduced me to basic control and navigation, and I have fond - if vague - memories of the airplane.  It's registered to a Delaware corporation these days, and hasn't shown up on FlightAware since 2010.  Thought I'd make a quick post here and just see if the current owner is on Mooneyspace.  I'd love to see what N55FE looks like today.

There is a Ridgeaire in Texas that is a broker. http://www.ridgeaire.com/

I checked their inventory and didn't see it listed.

It looks like they acquired it in 2011, shortly after it had an off-airport landing.

Looks like it had an interesting history: http://aviationdb.net/aviationdb/AircraftDetailPage

 

Once you load up the N number, it will show you the last owner. He might be able to tell you what happened to it after the off field landing.

Thanks, guys.  I'm aware of the accident history, but hopeful it was repaired instead of scrapped.  I may try e-mailing Ridgeaire.
