Airframe story
N331FR is a Frontier Airlines Airbus A320-251N, MSN 8239, carrying the name "Choo the Pika" as part of the airline's animal-tail livery program. FAA records show the aircraft has been held under trustee structures rather than direct Frontier ownership, registered to Wells Fargo Trust Co NA as trustee from 2018, then to UMB Bank NA as trustee from 2023. A tracked incident log notes a tail strike at TTN on 18 May 2022, with the aircraft returning to service on 29 May 2022. At the time Frontier was an all-A320 family operator with orders for an additional 61 A320neos and 18 A319neos. Stabilator's flight data shows recent stays at Cincinnati, Chicago Midway, Phoenix, and Denver, which likely reflect routine turnarounds within Frontier's domestic network rather than any special maintenance or storage event.
Livery guess: Frontier Airlines - "Choo the Pika" animal tail livery. Named in a source documenting Frontier's Airbus deliveries, consistent with the airline's branding of individual aircraft with animal names
