The public federal record on N1515B, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 2, 1999, 23 years after the 1976 manufacture year. 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 15450 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1515B was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Luscombe 8A (serial 6142, cancelled January 20, 1993). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
