The public federal record on N1212K, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 120079 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1212K was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 172E (serial 17250912, cancelled September 18, 1970); Luscombe 8A (serial 3939, cancelled February 21, 1956). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
