The public federal record on N3051N, 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

N3051N was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 120 (serial 13309, cancelled December 16, 1949). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
