N183JS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cirrus Design Corp SR22T (serial 0725, cancelled March 14, 2014). 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]
