As far as I am able to determine, as of the date I am posting this pic (June 3, 2019), reg number N88842 is not currently assigned to any aircraft in the United States. That is why I selected it when I altered the actual reg number of this Bonanza.

Awwww, c'mon, guys. A couple of cans of good old Bondo fiberglass filler stuff and a fifteen minute wait while it cures and it's all good. Ahhh, and straighten out the prop blade. And maybe realign the entire prop assembly back to centered. And oh yeah, that hole in the right wing might need fixin'. Hmmmm. On second thought, I'm thinkin' you called it correctly, guys. (Wave)
