The public federal record on N2698A, 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.

N2698A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-20-135 (serial 20-953, cancelled August 23, 2018). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N2698A. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
