N2300X was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182 (serial 18256200, cancelled June 11, 1976). 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]
