The public federal record on N33253, 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

N33253 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 5928, cancelled June 22, 1973). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
