N2580Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172D (serial 17249880, cancelled March 19, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

No NTSB investigation records located under N2580Y. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
