The public federal record on N26602, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N26602 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Taylorcraft BL-65 (serial 1944, cancelled February 21, 1956). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
