The public federal record on N2426A, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Rayburn William E, an individual, certificate issued February 12, 2026, expires February 28, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial AB 270 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2426A was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-38-112 (serial 3878A0682, cancelled February 18, 1997); Piper PA-18A-135 (serial 18-1930, cancelled December 4, 1970). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
