The public federal record on N17187, 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

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N17187 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Stinson SR-9B (serial 5169, cancelled November 24, 1961). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
