The public federal record on N3002B, 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

N3002B was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 195 (serial 7885, cancelled May 19, 1965). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
