The public federal record on N20606, 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 17261436 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

N20606 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper J-2 (serial 2000, cancelled May 28, 1948); Fairchild 24 K (serial 3351, cancelled February 9, 1945). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
