The public federal record on N2161L, 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.
Valid registration to Castanier Susan B, an individual, certificate issued March 21, 2024, expires March 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated December 29, 2005, consistent with the 2005 manufacture year. [1]

N2161L was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Sell Donald C AIR COMMAND 503 (serial DC1, cancelled August 8, 2002). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N2161L. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
