The public federal record on N42269, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18047C for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

N42269 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Roberson Waymon B MXL II SPORT (serial 246, cancelled August 14, 1995); Piper J3C-65 (serial 14519, cancelled May 18, 1988). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
