This doesn't do anything, all these aircraft are already in trusts. You can still track them, the N number/ICAO ID is what people are using

This is actually most helpful to the little guys that own $20,000 airplanes.

I have a small airplane and it's always bothered me that my name and address are publicly accessible through the FAA registry.

Most pilots I know are careful about photos they publish online showing their tail number printed in large bold letters on either side of the aircraft. This registration number can be entered into websites like flightaware.com and someone is literally two clicks from seeing my full name and home address.

Can you take me for a ride on your plane?
