The public federal record on N15193, 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.
Valid registration to De Koevend Enterprises INC, a corporation, certificate issued January 24, 2018, expires January 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated June 23, 1981, consistent with the 1981 manufacture year. [1]

N15193 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Franklin Gilder PS-2 (serial 138, cancelled April 29, 1948). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N15193. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
