The public federal record on N2039K, 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

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 6519 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2039K was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Sikorsky S-76C (serial 760554, cancelled April 26, 2004); Brantley Melvin GOLDWING (serial 175, cancelled October 6, 1989); Luscombe 8E (serial 4766, cancelled August 18, 1953).
