The public federal record on N417S, 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

N417S was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Midget Mustang MM-1 (serial 349, cancelled June 7, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
