The public federal record on N1149, 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.

N1149 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Curtiss Wright JN4D (serial 1250, cancelled March 18, 1932). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
