The public federal record on N101VB, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18280438 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N101VB was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Bell 47G-3B-1 (serial 3549, cancelled August 5, 2013). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
