The public federal record on N1611S, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1611S was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Snow 600-S2C (serial 600-1152C, cancelled December 29, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
