N1519A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Balloon Works FIREFLY 7 (serial 10262, cancelled May 13, 1993). 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]
