The public federal record on N351DF, 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.

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N351DF according to the deregistered file. [2]
