The public federal record on N1515Y, 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 F7-2014 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse
