The public federal record on N136E, 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.

N136E was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild M-62A (serial T40-250, cancelled December 20, 1951). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
