The public federal record on N26PL, 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.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial BA-679 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N26PL was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lowe Glen QUICKIE Q-200 (serial 2858, cancelled May 23, 1989). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
