The public federal record on N2072M, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 25, 2026, 44 years after the 1982 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 45720 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2072M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech E-55 (serial TE1158, cancelled May 14, 1979). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
