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.

Standard certificate for normal, dated November 16, 2018, consistent with the 2018 manufacture year. [1]
