The public federal record on N2520V, 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 Smith Gregory A, an individual, certificate issued April 26, 2024, expires April 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 11, 1956, 8 years after the 1948 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 18024 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N2520V according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 29, 2026). [3]
