The public federal record on N36JB, 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

N36JB was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Branch SCORPION TOO (serial 4927, cancelled February 20, 1980); Branch John R B-8M (serial 0023, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
