The public federal record on N3251R, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 57359 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N3251R was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-151 (serial 28-7515173, cancelled March 2, 2010); Raven S55A (serial S55A472, cancelled March 8, 1983). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
