The public federal record on N22753, 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 Martins Dusters INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 4, 2006, expires June 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 28, 1989, 25 years after the 1964 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 64-13985 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N22753 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J-3 (serial 2705, cancelled January 4, 1966). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Garlick UH-1B · operated under 091
Improper installation of the transmission door by a company mechanic, resulting in inflight separation of the door (which then struck the tail rotor system) and consequent total loss of the tail rotor. Contributing to the accident were: inadequate recordkeeping by a company mechanic, and attainment of proper descent rate for the forced landing touchdown was not possible.
