N1049F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna A185F (serial 18502706, cancelled August 21, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N1049F. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
