Narrative:
I flew an small aircraft from kotzebue to fai, where I sold the aircraft. After a few days I was notified by the new owner that the aircraft was grounded by the FAA. They said it had been grounded before by a tag, and that the log books were not properly filled out. When I took the flight, I had no knowledge of the paperwork not being correct, and if I knew the aircraft paperwork was not in order, I wouldn't have flown the aircraft. To the best of my knowledge, the aircraft was in airworthy condition.
